Phonics interactive notebook for daily or weekly practice! This interactive notebook can be used for Kindergarten, first, second, or third grade. This is an interactive way to create word lists for spelling patterns. Use this in your phonics routine when introducing or reviewing phonics spelling patterns. It can also be used in small group time to allow for reinforcement of the phonics skills your curriculum teaches. Accumulate a list as a class and discuss words that would fit for the particular spelling pattern you are working on that week/day. This is a great way for students to hear and write words using spelling patterns and focus on each concept. This interactive notebook is a great resource for students to reference back to for review. There are 132 phonics headers with and without pictures. How it works: Print the headers. Students cut them out and glue them in the notebook. Discuss the spelling pattern and what sound the focus is. As a class come up with a list of words to write under the spelling pattern. **(If you have access to a projector, it is a great idea to have a teacher notebook and write the words on it to be projected on the screen for students to copy the correct spelling. Spelling patterns include: c, o, a, d, g, m, l, h, t, CVC, I, j, k, p, ch, u, b, r, f, n, e, s, sh, th (that), w, wh, y, v, x, z, th (thumb), qu, compound words, ff, ll, ss, zz, Initial consonant blends (sc, sk, sl, sm, sn, sp, st, sw, bl, cl, fl, gl, pl, br, cr, dr, fr, gr, pr, tr), final consonant blends (mp, nd, nt, nk, ng, st, sk, ft, pt, ct, ld, lt, lf, lk), suffix ed (sounds like /id/ /d/ /t/), magic e (i, o, u, a), open and closed syllables, ph, ck, ea, oa, ai, ee, ay, oe, k - ck - ke, er, ir, ur, ow, ou, igh, endings ble, fle, tle, dle, gle, kle, Endings y, word endings ild, old, ind, olt, ost, ar, or, oo, y as a vowel, hard and soft c, hard and soft g, ge and dge, aw, au, a, oi, oy, tüh, ing as an ending, VCV and VCe spelling rule, ew (grew), ew (few), eu, eigh, ei, ie, ue (rescue), ue (true), Three-syllable Words, Schwa, tion, sion, ow, ea (head), ea (great), oo, ou, ch, ch, s, spelling with affixes.

The debacle of taking grades.... I know some teachers that take a grade on EVERYTHING. Meaning, everything the kids do, they take a grade on and put in the "gradebook." I can't do that. BUT, I do use everything as an informal assessment. I used to have these nice, LOOOOOONG, drawn out plans for small groups. I was really proud of my plans for my small groups. But, then I realized I was missing out on some great teaching opportunities because I HAD to do those plans. lol Well, I decided to try something new and I've "thrown out" those lesson plans and started using our work throughout the day as a "telling" for what I need to do for small groups. I do it for both reading and math - if I see there are a handful of kids that are having trouble with a concept, then I will pull them back. Or if it's after I've already done my small groups, then I will do it for the next day. OR, if I have almost an entire class do it?? Then it'll just be a whole group lesson. Here - I happen to have an example from this week, that I actually took a picture of. Last week, when we were doing Sarah's er, ir, ur pack, I used one of the activities as an informal assessment, which will lead to my vocabulary lesson next week... They were doing the word sort, and I noticed that almost EVERY person did this...... SO, I'm guessing that they don't know the words "lurk" or "smirk" - lol. So, I will be using those two words as one of my vocab words... well, the correct spelling of lurk anyway - ha! Click the pic to down load - and there are "directions" for box for in the download for ya. In case you were wondering where I got the spelling activity - it came from Sarah Kirby Let me tell you, I will own ALL her word work packs eventually! lol In fact, this week we're getting ready to use her /oo/ pack. She has some really great ideas in them! There are certain people/sellers that have year-round activity packs...and I have them ALL Like Kathy Law's Color By Codes Sailing Through First's Super Sentences Yvonne' Math Journal Prompts and Anna's Math Journal Prompts Katie's Busy Teacher Denise's Printables Pack Lisa's Monthly Thematic Graphic Organizer and now Sarah has been added to that list. Also, this week, we've been working really hard on our 3-digit numbers, especially with all the skills in my Numbers Every Day pack - and as we've been doing it, I've been making a few tweaks....I just uploaded a revised version - go snag your updated version if you've bought it! I've actually been updating a lot of packs lately - you've seen the Thunderstorm pack and my Bear Snores On pack that I've recently updated. Next on my list to do some major updating are some of my first packs.... Don't forget - tomorrow is the big TpT Super Bowl Sale! (the extra percentage is only on the 3rd - but my store will still be on sale for the 4th) Make sure when you check out you put in "super" as the code to get the extra 10% off my sale prices! Here are few of my favorite things :)

A grapheme wall (similar to a sound wall) is a way to organize phonemes (speech sounds) and the graphemes (letters/groups of letters) that represent them. Keyword images are used to help students associate spelling patterns with the sounds they represent. Similar to a word wall, a grapheme wall is a tool for students to reference when spelling and reading words, with posters grouped by phonics patterns. The Science of Reading (SoR) shows us that students need explicit phonics instruction and support to develop phoneme-grapheme correspondence. This grapheme wall is perfect for students in Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd grade and beyond and makes an amazing addition to intervention and ELD/EL/ESL classrooms. The dimensions of posters in this resource when printed at 100% scale are about 7" x 7.7". However, posters can easily be printed at any size by altering your printer settings. Directions for printing different sizes of posters are included in the "READ FIRST and TOU" file.
