This center combines identifying initial sounds, sounding out words and finding the matching picture. Students have an alphabet chart, which they may or may not need to refer to. They look at the picture clues and identify the initial sounds and letters of each word. They put the letter that each picture starts with underneath until they have spelled out a word. Then they sound out the word and identify the picture. On the back of my picture, I wrote the word so that they can check their answers

Snag this fun freebie to practice identifying long vowel sounds with a fun summer theme! Students either use a clear overlay spinner or a pencil and paper clip and place over the sun to spin. Then they find the matching CVCe word, read it out loud, and cover with a manipulative (I personally love the Target dollar spot erasers for this!). All these pictures are CVCe words that can be found in my Mystery Words CVCe pack, so if you have those, students will easily be able to recall the same word

This will help them gain beneficial fine motor practice, coordination, plus good ol' count and match the number time. If you don’t have shape punches, you can always us
