Slides are for the month of December. 17 slides are included. Teacher answer key for mystery words and spell a word.

How to use slides:

-MW: Students will identify the first sound of each picture shown of the mystery word and then blend those sounds to read a CVC word. For example horse would be /h/, apple would be /a/ and mouse would be /m/ resulting in the cvc word “ham”.

-SAW: Student will identify the picture and segment the sounds to write the correct word.

-TorT: students will choose between 2 choices. This can be used as a voting poll. See which group has more, which group has less. How much more? Get students talking with those math words.

-HM: Count how many and tell or practice writing the number.

Student white boards can be used to fill in answers as you work through the slides
