WHAT'S INCLUDED 4 printable sound boxes pages for students to map and read words with writing lines, colorful tap-and-blend cues with dotted line to promote continuous blending, and an arrow to help with directionality: CVC words (3 phonemes). Three sound boxes to map CVC words. We also love to use this when working on mapping words with digraphs (chat, shed, chin). Magic e words. Since words following the VCE pattern include the silent e (no sound), there's a line instead of a sound box for the special letter e, which helps remind students that the magic e is silent! This is a great resource when introducing the magic e, but after a bit you will want to scaffold up and give them the 3 phoneme box and see if they remember to include the magic e when they hear the long vowel sound. 4 phoneme words. Use 4 sound boxes for CVCC or CCVC words. 5 phoneme words. Use this sheet for all sorts of words! This is great for advanced practice once things like digraphs, blends, vowel teams, and diphthongs have been taught. 3 pages of cut-out printable letters in 2 different fonts: Capital and lowercase letters (full alphabet) Red vowels and y as vowel Digraphs: ch, sh, th, ph, wh, ck Floss: ff, ll, ss, zz R-controlled vowels: ar, er, ir, or, ur Vowel teams Diphthongs Magic E (letter e with a top hat & a magic wand!) Blank squares Grapheme markers Notes: Make it multi-sensory by using play dough balls or any other kind of marker, like bingo chips or coins on the circle below each phoneme!
