This is a resource I will use for years to come! My students are engaged while working in small groups. Great activity for small groups, independently, or with partners! Cathy updated this resource when I asked her about adding some vowel teams that we teach in 2nd grade spelling/phonics. Thank you, Cathy, for doing that! It will help to make learning these vowel patterns much more fun and engaging for my kids.
