Ideas for Use

After a child masters their letter sounds, working with CVC words is the next task! This is how this material is used in our classrooms:

Beginning with the first list, the child spells out 3, 4, 6, or all 12 of the picture cards using movable alphabet letters.  How many words at a time depends on the ability and stamina of the child.

The picture card lists are designed to be customizable in their implementation! It would be simple to pull a sampling of cards from each list for doing spelling evaluations, for example.

After all the picture cards of a list have been spelled, the teacher can dictate words from one of the supporting dictation lists.  The child spells out the words onto empty frame cards then can check the work against the control cards.  Once a dictation list has been mastered, move to the next list in that series (ba- => be-, etc.)

List 1 – Beginning sounds:  b-

List 2 – Beginning sounds:  c-

List 3 – Beginning sounds:  d-, f-, and g-

List 4 – Beginning sounds:  h- and j-

List 5 – Beginning sounds:  k-, l-, and m-

List 6 – Beginning sounds:  n- and p-

List 7 – Beginning sounds:  r-

List 8 – Beginning sounds:  s- and t-

List 9 – Beginning sounds:   v-, w-, y-, and z-

List 10 – Ending sounds:  -b

List 11 – Ending sounds:  -d

List 12 – Ending sounds:  -g

List 13 – Ending sounds:  -m

List 14 – Ending sounds:  -n

List 15 – Ending sounds:  -p

List 16 – Ending sounds:  -t

Kids love spelling onto these attractive cards and checking their own work! Teachers love them because they can adapt the length of the exercises to their students’ individual needs! Students can spell out 3, 4, 6, or all 12 of the picture cards in a list… It all depends on what that student needs. 🙂
