2nd Grade Word Work Activities: /ch/ (Module 3, Cycle 17)

These activities are aligned to Module 3, Cycle 17 of EL Curriculum's Skills Block. In Module 3, Cycle 17, are introduced to the following spellings of the phoneme /ch/: "ch" and "tch."

All lessons can be found on EL Education's website.

I created these activities to use at my Word Work Center during this cycle. The words and sentences used in these activities are taken from the Cycle Word List and Sentence Builders (sentences may be slightly different than the EL sentence builders) from Cycle 17 to help students practice this skill.

Activities Included:

1. /ch/ Sentences

• Students are required to read sentences and fill in the blank with the correct /ch/ word. Students are also required to write their own sentence using as many /ch/ words as they can. [Writing their own sentence gives students extra practice with writing a "silly sentence," which they will do during the interactive writing lesson in each cycle.]

2. /ch/ Word Sorts

• Version 1: Students are required to cut and paste /ch/ words under the correct column based on the spelling of each word.
• Version 2: Students are required to complete each /ch/ word with the correct spelling: "ch" or "tch." Then, students are required to cut and paste the words under the correct column based on the spelling of each word.

*** Note: Both versions of the Word Sort include the same words, which come
from the Cycle 17 Word List. Version 2 is just more challenging than
Version 1.
