I have made a focus word, word of the week, or word of the day organizer that can be used whole group, in students notebooks, or as a worksheet. The organizer focuses on the word and how many letters, consonants, vowels, and syllables it is made of as well as rhyming words, a space for a sentence that uses the word, and an area to draw an accompanying picture.

This file includes 12 picture cards and 4 different worksheets. Each worksheet focuses on a different skill. 1 beginning sound, 1 middle sound, 1 ending sound, and 1 blending the word. The 12 picture cards will be used for all the worksheets no matter the focus! This file is perfect for differentiation in small groups, partners, independent, or even whole group!
