LANGUAGE ARTS - "15 Games Teaching Syllable [Vowel] Types" Amanda Trump

by Reading on Strawberry Lane (Amanda Trump)

Grades K-4






This is a packet of games that students can play and have fun learning about the 6 syllable types. It includes 65 pages of syllable type word cards and a variety of 15 games. Students will become better readers as they learn to differentiate the 6 syllable types. They will see words in a whole new way. Their decoding skills will become sharper as they begin to break the mystery to the reading code. These following learn and play games can be placed in language stations or be played during small groups:
• Tic-Tac-Toe
• Concentration
• Find & Search
• Reach for the Stars
• Follow the Rainbow
• Syllable Sorting Work Mats
• Syllable Sorting Graphic Organizers
• Climb the Ladder
• Bingo
• Blockbuster
• Battleship I
• Battleship II
• Football Frenzy
• Build a Tower
• Be a Superhero Syllable Star

FREE MISC. LESSON - “Think Time Response Sheet”

by Real Life in First Grade
Kindergarten - 2nd Grade


Encourage positive decision making and accountability in your classroom by using these "Think Time" Response Sheets!

Children use this sheet to reflect upon why they needed "Think Time" and what they should do differently next time. The sheet is then sent home to be signed by a parent or guardian.

Two versions are included- one on which students can write their responses, the other on which students can draw their responses (great for kindergarten or very early first grade).

These sheets provide students with a focused way to think about the choices they've made and create a plan for how to cope in a similar situation next time.

Scooping Words With One Closed Syllable and One Vowel-Consonant-e Syllable

by Reading on Strawberry Lane (Amanda Trump)

Grades 1-4



Scooping a word is the same as dividing the word into syllables.
Syllables can be divided by saying them orally or by using a pencil and paper. If we orally divide a word into syllables, we usually clap the word out. For example, if we orally divided the syllables of dislike, we would clap out ‘dis’ and ‘like,’ and that would be two claps. If we divided the syllables on paper, we would place a slash between the ‘s’ and ‘l’ in
the word ‘dis/like.’
So rather that placing a slash, there is another way to show the number of syllables in a word, and that is to scoop the syllables. This is how that would look: d i s I I k e. Not dividing the word with a slash avoids the look of an extra letter in the word, and it also avoids the idea of students thinking the word has only one syllable since there is just one slash. With the idea of scooping with the finger or with a pencil, students
can feel and see the scoops which in turn matches the number of syllables.
This packet contains 64 task cards that allow students to practice scooping words with one closed syllable and one vowel-consonant-e syllable.

LANGUAGE ARTS - "PHONEME SUBTRACTION"

Grades K-2
by Reading on Strawberry Lane




This fun print and play activity will help students master the skills of phonemic deletion/subtraction and reinforce phonemic awareness, which is the ability to hear the smallest unit of sound. Students will read a word and then subtract a sound thus creating a new word. 

Also, this activity targets initial consonant blends and consonant digraphs such as bl, ch, cr, sm, th, sh, and more. There are two game boards (colored/black and white versions) and 92 task cards designed to engage learners. You may use this game board or any game board you have. Or just use the task cards alone, and the student with the most cards at the end wins.

LANGUAGE ARTS - "Scooping Words with Two Closed Syllables"

K-2
Amanda Trump 



Scooping a word is the same as dividing the word into syllables.
Syllables can be divided by saying them orally or by using a pencil and paper. If we orally divide a word into syllables, we usually clap the word out. For example, if we orally divided the syllables of polish, we would clap out ‘pol’ and ‘ish,’ and that would be two claps. If we divided the syllables on paper, we would place a slash between the ‘l’ and ‘i’ in the word ‘pol/ish.’

So rather that placing a slash, there is another way to show the number of syllables in a word, and that is to scoop the syllables. This is how that would look: p o l i s h. This way not dividing the word with a slash avoids the look of a misplaced letter in the word, and it also avoids the idea of students thinking the word has only one syllable since there is just one slash. With the idea of scooping with the finger or with a pencil, students can feel and see the scoops which in turn matches the number of syllables. 

This packet contains 64 task cards that allow students to practice scooping words with two closed syllables.

Simply print and cut along the guidelines. One idea is to print on card stock or on colored paper. Laminate and use them again and again and keep them in a baggie. Another option is to hole-punch a corner of each card and put them all on a ring.

LANGUAGE ARTS - "Bingo with Vowel Digraph & Diphthong Words"

by Reading on Strawberry Lane (Amanda Trump)

Grades 1-3



This fun game of BINGO gives students practice differentiating between vowel digraphs and vowel diphthong syllables. A vowel digraph is a syllable that has two vowels glued together whose sound will say one of the vowel sounds. A vowel diphthong is two vowels glued together or one vowel glued to the left of the letter -w whose sound will be unique to the combination of the two letters. After playing a few times, the students will catch on to these two different syllable types and will begin to quickly identify them and their sounds. There are two different bingo cards for the students, and there are 96 word cards--48 vowel digraph words and 48 vowel diphthong words.
