I've used the digraph kids the last 2 years and my kids love them and really associate them with the sounds....they were really excited when I used these this year for ai/ay! Love that some of the activities are useful for centers as well!

Great activities for practicing the long a sound! I notice that you include "hair," "chair," "fairy," Where we live, those words aren't pronounced with a long a! We say it like a short e! I just pulled those words out of the word sorts.

Hi, I am not sure if my question went through. I bought the long a vowel packet twice. Is there any way I can get the vowel e kids packet in place of the long a? My email is rosie.o.reyes@gmail.com thank you!
I sure am, Nichole! I actually have the long i, long o, and long u packets *almost* completed. I'm also working on some that follow other vowel patterns. this summer really got away from me so I haven't been able to finish them as quickly as I was hoping!!!
Blessings to you!

Hi, I bought this packet but I didn't realize I had purchased it back on April 10th. I was so busy buying things during the Teacher appreciation sale I lost track of what I was buying. What can I do?
Email me at thefirstgradeparade@gmail.com so that I can send you something else...OR...contact the TpT help desk :)

Hi Cara,
I just downloaded your Long A Kids activities and it's great but I noticed for the Spin It, Flip It, Write It activity where you sort "ai" "ay" and "long a" words, there are no "ay" words in the word cards to sort?
Could you please advise or send me a set of word cards with the "ay" words?
Aaaahhhh!!!! I thought I uploaded the corrected version! I just realized I uploaded the wrong one...AGAIN!!! SO sorry!!! Taking care of this tonight! I'll upload this again and send out a notice when I do! THanks!!

I am preparing the activities from the Long A Kids package and discovered that the -ay word card sheet is missing for the "Spin it flip it write" activity, but there are two copies of the -ai- words (with train and mail at the top). Is there are way that I can get the missing sheet?
Thank you!
Hello! I loved this unit! One thing I noticed is in the Spin It, Flip It, Write It game there are 2 copies of the ai words (page 29) and its missing the ay words. I used some of the other ay word cards from another activity in the pack but thought you might want to know. If you happen to add the ay word can you please send me a copy? Thanks so much!

Hello Cara!!! Hope all is well and you are getting back to the swing of things. Quick question will you be creating phonics kids for the other vowels? I would love to see that. Have a super week!
I've been teaching for 10 years. I spent 7 years teaching Kindergarten and then moved up to 2nd grade and loved it! I didn't know what I was missing. A year later I moved to 1st grade and I'll never look back. It's the best!
