My students LOVE these I Spy games and it really forces them to accurately read each word! Prerequisites: - Reading closed syllables - Reading magic e (VCe) syllables - a_e, i_e, o_e, u_e, e_e - Syllable division pattern VC/CV (and knowledge of when to keep consonant blends together) - Vocab knowledge of the words: explicitly teach all word meanings to ELLs, explicitly teach words students might not know (e.g. stampede, inhale, landslide, caveman, tadpole, etc.) to non-ELLs

Students need to know how to decode words with the following glued sounds: -ing, -ang, -ong, -ung -ink, -ank, -onk, -unk Explicitly teach the meanings of these words to ELLs. Explicitly teach words you think students might not know (e.g., ping pong, blank) to non ELLs!

Phonics knowledge needed: C followed by i, e, and y usually spells the /s/ sound. G followed by i, e, and y can spell the /j/ sound. -ce at the end of a word spells the /s/ sound. -ge at the end of a word spells the /j/ sound. Sometimes 'E' has lots of jobs! Sometimes 'E' works with the vowel to make the vowel sound long (magic e) AND it works with the c or g to make it say the soft sound (/s/ or /j/). Examples: cage, face, page, ice Explicitly teach ELL students the meaning of all these words!

I got so sick of having to write the date every day! I laminated these cards and keep them in little boxes. It is a kid's end-of-the-day job to change the date for the next day of school. I also keep a regular calendar nearby so they can check what the date will be on the next day of school (e.g. skip two days for the weekend or breaks). --Date cards include all dates during the school year in the following format: [day of the week], [month] [date], [year] e.g., "Wednesday, August 17, 2023" --BE

My students love these "I Spy" games and it forces them to accurately read the words! This focuses on the following phonics patterns spelling their most common sound: - 'ee' - feet, queen, tree - 'oi' - foil, coil, boil, oil, soil, coin - 'aw' - hawk, paw, lawn, fawn - 'ou' - trout, mound, round, shout Note: Students also need to have mastered 'qu' and 'sh' in order to decode these words. These spellings are taught in the beginning of CKLA Skills Grade 1 - but can also be used with any other pro

CKLA Grade 1 Skills Unit 1 "Tricky Words" orthographically mapped with circles and hearts. Circles -- > We know we can sound out that part of the word using the skills we've learned! Hearts -- > We have to remember that tricky part of the word by heart! **Each sound in the word is mapped with one shape/box Words included in this resource: some, is, a, word, so, I, from, are, have, no, of, were, was, all, one, to, who, two, do, once, the, there, said, says, where, when, why, which, what,

Match three cards: the analog clock, the digital time, the word form Students can flip them over once they are all matched to check their work with the letters on the back (e.g. "A" "A" "A" all match). For this answer key to work you need to make sure you are printing at 100% scale and "flip on long edge"I laminated these and keep just one set in my classroom, but you could print one copy for each student if you wanted!

Tricky words for Grade 1 CKLA skills Unit 2: -Each sound is one box -circle = sound is spelled how we would expect -heart = we need to know that part "by heart" There are large word wall cards to print out and hang up as well as smaller "flashcards" for reviewing in small group. Words included: they, their, my, by, you, your, he, she, we, be, me There are different versions for the following words depending on whether you've taught open/closed syllables: he, she, we, be, me

You can use these cards during small group or for centers/games (e.g. draw a card and read it, then you get to make your move in whatever board game, etc.). Specifically created to be easy to print and laminate. The lines between the cards are dotted and lighter gray so you can just cut the cards on the lines and have them look nice and neat.
