Scholars use the provided pack of alphabet cards to construct basic CVC words, then write down each word they make in one of two columns. Column one is for real words and column two is for nonsense words.

There are three spinners to use in this phonic activity. Spinner one contains digraphs, spinner two contains vowels, and spinner three contains consonants. Learners spin each spinner, write down the letters they get, blend them to make a...

Blending basic CVC letters to make words is one of the first steps to independent reading. Provided here are several images of stairs and several letters to cut and arrange. The learner rearranges the letters to form CVC patterns, sounds...

Little learners place a picture card on a magnetic board, say the name of the object on the card, then sift through alphabet magnets to find and spell the word they said.

Emergent readers use a letter cube to identify, blend, and make words. They roll each of the three-letter cubes, mark down the letters they rolled, then blend the letter sounds together to make a word. They record each word on a...

Learners are given a star; each star contains a c_c form in the center and vowels on each point. They use the vowels to fill in the blank between the consonants making a simple CVC word. They write each word they make on a piece of...

Have your young learners interact with phonemes through this tactile plan! Each learner will have a colored mat where they connect different phonemes to create words. The best part is that they can self-correct easily as they spell! 

Learners view a series of images, then choose digraphs, consonants, and vowels to spell out the object's name on each card.

Second graders demonstrate their encoding skills by spelling words using color coded paper, match correct letters with the colored paper to spell the words in standard form, and self correct any errors made in the spelling with colored...

Students practice reading Dolch words using an apple theme.  In this sight word activity, students play an apple picking game that allows them to practice reading several Dolch words.  Students play this game frequently to...

First graders identify words associated with the -ar sound. They read sentences and compose a story that include words with the -ar sound. The assessment portion of lesson involves students in spelling words with the -ar pattern.

First graders identify words with the "sh" pattern. They participate in phonemic awareness, decoding, blending, spelling patterns, and dictation exercises. As the assessment portion of the lesson, they may write a story using words...

Students explore symbols in art and complete related activities. For this art symbols lesson, students compare symbols they recognize to those of an African culture. Students create a collaborative work of art with symbols that have an...

Students rewrite word problems using expressions and equations. In this algebra lesson, students use the correct variable to solve and write equations. They use the TI to graph their solution.

Students perform basic operations in modular (clock) arithmetic. Students encode and decode messages using shift and affine ciphers. Students apply their multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction skills.

Students complete multiple activities to help them hear sounds, syllables, and spell words with vowel patterns, digraphs, or blends. In this word sounds lesson, students use letter tiles, sort words cards, analyze poems, and play a bingo...

Elementary and middle schoolers explore the world of secret writing, otherwise known as cryptography. After an interesting introduction to the activity, learners utilize a decoder badge which uses the St. Cyr cipher - which is a cipher...
