Happy Wednesday!
I hope all these consecutive blogposts count...I headed back to school yesterday and I can already see what's coming up on the horizon :)
Thank you for all the happy thoughts yesterday on my instagram!
For Wishlist Wednesday, I'm highlighting one of my favorite activities (& most wish-listed):
Long and Short Sort - $3.50 $1.75
This packet includes colorful sorting mats and both picture and text cards to sort by long or short vowel. This activity is PERFECT for back to school! We spend so much time working with phonics sound/spelling, but sometimes our students' struggles are not with the spellings (visual), but with the phonemic awareness (auditory). This packet includes 60 sorting cards! I learn so much about where my students' strengths and areas of need are from incorporating this activity. Plus, they think it's fun :)
Here's a closer look:
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
Do you use this with your 1st grade kiddos who have disabilities?
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa, thanks for your question.
ReplyDeleteYes, I used this sort with students receiving special education services, as well as for my intervention groups. I created this two years ago for a group of students who were really struggling with long vowels (phonics). I did a little digging and found they were actually having a hard time with the phonemic awareness and needed practice identifying short vowels vs long vowel sounds. Last year I added the picture cards for my students who were reading at a lower level. All my products are created (or revised) to fill a need with my own students. Hope this helps! Jen
