This bundle includes 20 board games that help practice a broad range of phonics skills while keeping kids interested and engaged. The games provide a variety of opportunities to practice all 6 syllable types (bossy r, magic e, vowel teams, consonant-le, open, and closed) both in isolation and in conjunction with all 6 syllable division rules (compound words, consonant-le, prefixes/suffixes, VCCCV, VCCV, VCV, and VV). It also includes games that cover additional skills (such as 3 sounds of –ed, hard/soft c&g, suffix rule words, silent letters, etc.) and variations of concepts, presented in structured, sequential way that progress through the Orton-Gillingham scope and sequence. This comprehensive set of games is a great value and is perfect for teachers/tutors to use as new skills are introduced or reviewed and to differentiate for diverse groups! A brief description of the various patterns/rules, examples, and directions are included, but this game is an adaptation of the classic Connect Four/Tic-Tac-Toe game (with a fun twist), so kids catch on very quickly. For other great games spanning the entire Orton-Gillingham scope and sequence, be sure to check out my store! http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Hattie-Knox As an added bonus, these games help hone crucial executive skills such as sustained attention, auditory/visual working memory, controlling impulsive behaviors, organization, planning/prioritization, flexibility, and emotional control along with social skills like listening, taking turns, problem-solving, honesty, and sportsmanship. A range of words have also been specifically selected to help students develop a diverse vocabulary. They are a great way to differentiate practice for all students within the general education classroom, and they are particularly helpful for students with dyslexia, ADHD/attention deficits, autism spectrum disorders, emotional/behavioral disorders, and other learning disabilities/differences. These games are a fun, multi-sensory way to work on decoding (breaking down and sounding out) and encoding (spelling) words in a way that aligns with the Orton-Gillingham approach and phonics-based programs/methods such as Project Read, Alphabetic Phonics, IMSE, Herman, Spalding, Lindamood-Bell, Slingerland, Barton, Wilson, and others. Thanks so much for your interest and efforts to meet each kiddo where they are with reading! I'm constantly working to create and improve upon games, so I eagerly welcome constructive feedback!

How to teach open syllables - Learn all about the open syllable and how to teach it to struggling or beginning readers using multisensory explicit methods (Orton-Gillingham).
Are you looking for more opportunities to encourage your students to apply what they have learned from your phonics instruction while they read? Let me share this success story with you! We all know that first graders LOVE to read and be read to! The method described below gives them an opportunity to do both. They read independently hunting for spelling patterns AND are read to by their classmates while they listen for spelling patterns! Right here, on this page, I will share with you my tried and true method of how to disguise Read to Self as a little more: Word Study! Using what kids love: sticky notes color coded "gumballs" decodable "just right" readers peer teaching Share Time (they all LOVE Share Time) (multi-sensory strategies) BEFORE: I begin our day (prior to the Daily 5) with a phonics/spelling mini lesson. For example, if we are studying digraphs we might complete a spelling sort or a short fluency passage. To read more about how I manage DiFfErEnTiAtEd Word Study groups using Words Their Way click HERE. We close our mini lesson by taking a "sneak peak" at their assigned story for Read to Self. The story would include words with digraphs. I provide my students with Read To Self bookmarks to mark the page in our decodable readers to help them quickly find their assigned story and to remind them of what is expected of them: If you would like to download a copy of the Read to Self bookmarks click HERE. DURING: During the Daily 5 centers, students spend time at the Read to Self center where they first complete their assigned reading and move on to their self selected reading. As they read the assigned decodable story, they hunt for words that contain a digraph and jot them down on a post-it to share with the class after the Daily 5. My students benefit from using a color coded system for our spelling patterns that we like to call "gumballs": Once my firsties have completed their assigned reading, they may move on to their own self-selected books. I encourage them to look for these spelling patterns in these books as well. It is important for them to use those stickies as a bookmark on the page where they found the word in the book. They will need to find that page quickly during Share Time. AFTER: Once all students have had an opportunity to learn at each Daily 5 station, we meet at the carpet for a Share. This is when my first graders take the lead as "teacher" and TEACH their classmates their current Word Study focus. Share Time is a favorite part of our day! By mid-year, my first graders have the routine down pat and run the show themselves. This leaves me the time to review their work from the Daily 5. Student script for share time: "My Word Study goal is I can read digraphs. Today I read ________________, and my gumball is /sh/." This is the moment when they read the sentence from their book that contains a word with their gumball. The rest of the students listen for the gumball and raise their hand to contribute their answer. The "teacher" calls on no more than 3 students to contribute their answer. Once a classmate shares the correct answer, the teacher says, "You're a smart cookie" and both the "teacher" and the student who answered correctly takes a cookie from the cookie jar (Cookie Crisp cereal). The "teacher" calls on another student, "_______ would you like to share?" and the new "teacher" responds with "Yes, please." The sticky note gets placed on our Interactive Word Study Bulletin Board: If you would like to learn more about how I manage differentiated Word Study groups as pictured above visit HERE. Including a Word Study Share as part of your Daily 5 routine is an excellent way to help motivate your students to apply their Word Study focus and to celebrate what they have accomplished. It is also a great opportunity for children to learn from their peers, especially if you are differentiating your Word Study groups. Children in advanced Word Study groups can introduce new spelling patterns to children who are not yet at that stage. And on the flip-side, children who have already learned a spelling pattern will have an opportunity to review those patterns they have previously learned! Share Time also allows you to informally assess your students' ability to apply what they have learned. In the last decade, I have been using the Daily 5 Management for Centers and Small Group instruction. In those years, I have morphed the Daily 5 into a system that combines MANY best practices (differentiation, Daily 5, Words Their Way, Lucy Calkins, Orton Gillingham... the list goes on). Teaching is an art. If we go about our instruction utilizing the best programs and resources we can get our hands on, we find amazing results! This story is a testimonial!

My sight word activities this year have included a lot more movement for my active learners. Learning our sight words has been a bit more of a challenge for some of my kindergartners. A
There are 7 written syllable types used in English spelling (six if you combine vowel teams and diphthongs). Knowing these helps with reading and spelling.
As phonics teachers, we spend most of our time teaching our children to READ, and READ some more. This is not always an easy task. We take on this responsibility and are continuously searching for the right strategies and tools that will provide our young readers with ample opportunities to feel successful and look forward to reading. I have a few tips and tricks to share with you! Young readers are training their eyes to identify the many phonics rules as they read. As we read, we are constantly on the look out for word chunks that will help us decode new words we encounter in the books we love. To help my students locate these "word chunks" we have a color coded system that we call "gumballs". My students use this system all day. They color code their sight words, the articles, poems and word problems we read. They even love to "gumball up" their own writing! It is a wonderful sight to see how they thrive using this visual and kinesthetic approach to phonics. And their work looks beautiful. To learn more about our Gumball Collections click HERE. Up until now, my students were simply using their crayons or highlighters to gumball up the word chunks during our phonics activities. But look at what I discovered at Oriental Trading!!!! Washable Mini Dot Markers!!!! They work like a charm. The dot is the perfect size for printed text for primary grades! Before reading the passage, students do a bit of word work by hunting for the spelling pattern. One dot and their pages are color coded with the current phonics rule we are focusing on. Then when it comes time to decode the text, their eyes are able to identify the word chunk immediately. In the photo above, you can see how one of my students is highlighting the /ea/ phonics rule with one quick dab of the Washable Mini Dot Markers. The kids love using them, I love them because they come in a variety of colors...to match our color coded system! It's a win-win! Be still my teacher heart. I'm in love with them!!! I have also found providing my students with a Phonics Goal to encourage them to take ownership of their learning. I have created a set of 22 posters with "I can" statements to help my firsties focus on the spelling pattern we are studying in our differentiated Word Study Groups. If you would like to learn more about how we go about this click HERE. Have you found some of your reluctant readers having trouble with one-to-one correspondence when reading from leveled texts? This is such an important skill for emerging readers. However, it can be frustrating when they slide their fingers across the text and just GUESS! Look at these Arrow Finger Readers I discovered at Oriental Trading to motivate my struggling readers to slow down and decode each word: My firsties were so excited to use these new tools. It's amazing how your tactile learners thrive when you give them a simple tool to manipulate. These Arrow Finger Readers were proven to motivate my young readers! Using these simple yet effective manipulatives along with a little encouragement and reminders... "Get your lips ready, kiddos and make that beginning sound... Look for the word chunks... Stretch out the word until it makes sense..." young readers begin to utilize the strategies you have taught them. They know them by name! In fact we have "Reading Buddies" in our classroom that remind us of what to do when we come across a tricky word: You can find this set of 8 Reading Strategies Posters with "I can" Statements at my TpT store:Reading Strategy Goals with "I can" Statements Poster Set And there you have it. 4 Tips to Motivate Emergent Readers to DECODE and not GUESS!

Lots of ideas and pictures of ways to teach reading skills using phonics centers to make learning fun and promote fluency in reading skills.
This bundle contains six units that give specific word examples of each syllable word type. The six syllable types of reading are Closed, Vowel-Consonant-e, Open, r-Controlled, Vowel Digraph & Diphthong, and Final Stable. Each unit provides a plethora of word lists that target each syllable type. Teaching reading by syllable types provides students with a clear-cut understanding of the English language. The basic overall purpose of learning syllable type reading is to give students 6 reading strategies to aid them in chunking longer words into short, readable parts. With each syllable type, students will learn what strategy to use to help them figure out the vowel sound in each syllable of a word. Once they know the sound of the vowel, then reading will become manageable for them, and they will begin to experience success and feel good about themselves. Also, you will find this approach to be systematic for you and the student. As the teacher, you can teach with consistency as you watch your students connect the dots in reading! The lists can be used for homework, small group work, or mini word assessments, and the smiley faces can be marked to help the students to know which words they read correctly and which ones they still need to continue to practice reading. **Just a note: There are NO activities with this bundle. It is strictly word lists.
Simple practice worksheet for teaching the difference between open and closed syllables. Students rewrite the words in the boxes, based on the first syllable and then mark the syllables. Created to match with Fundations syllable marking.

Our school follows the UK curriculum so using VCOP is a big part of our Literacy program. It's broken into four parts: vocabulary, connectives, openers and punctuation. It's progressive so young children can access it and it encourages getting to 'the next level' as well. This makes differentiation super simple. It's easy to have all 4 components available from the beginning of the school year (on display, for instance) but you can focus on one at a time in your word-level work. It can then be incorporated into your lesson's success criteria. Lots of websites provide great resources so it is easy to incorporate VCOP into your classroom decor and make high-quality resources available at your student's fingertips. I really like the VCOP pyramids. Once put together and laminated, they can be set out on tables during independent writing time and referred to during guided writing. The top of the pyramid is the most basic. Students move down the pyramid for a challenge. Teachers could add to the "Vocabulary" section so the words reflect what is being discussed in class. These are some of my favourite. Click on the images to visit the site's VCOP resources.
