    THESE ARE THE Editable PowerPoint VERSIONS

    One of our favourite activities for learners of all ages. It is a full lesson or about an hour in duration

    I love doing this activity, it is self directed and students really get into it. It is a whole class activity that can be done in groups, pairs or as an individual. I like to give each students a copy so they have their own work to present and take home

    This is a whole class activity that can be done in groups or pairs.
    Students are given a board and the Ocean animals description and have to match the description to the Ocean animals picture and glue it to the board
    They go horizontal across the top and the bottom and vertically along the sides.
    When you ( or the students) cut out the dominos make sure there is a picture AND a description on the domino ( dominos have two sides)
    Make sure the students know how to glue them as sometimes they will stick them all at the top.

    We also have a rubric to show you how it fits together.
    You should print the dominoes on a4 paper and the board to stick on a3!!!
    We will have an instruction video on the YouTube site as well.

    Most of resources can be premium downloaded below, they are all editable so you can adapt them for your, classes, students and schools. It also helps me with the costs of running the website!

  • 13 Action Verb Worksheets

    $3.99

    Actions verbs are a mainstay of every language teachers curriculum. They are great to teach and children really benefit from being taught them using varied activities. However, one of those activities we use to consolidate or cool them down after all the actions, is the humble worksheet.

    Children need to learn a mixture of grammar and phonics to learn to talk. Verbs, and in particular Action Verbs, are incredibly important part of this. The ability to be able to communicate their actions and what they want or have been doing is a huge motivator for younger learners. As they start to form sentences they will naturally acquire vocabulary, there are ways to develop these skills more effectively.

  • Blend and digraph workbook

    60+ Phonics and Reading Skills Workbook – Blends and Digraphs

    $8.99

    Over 60 Teacher Made Blending and Digraph worksheets, games and activities. 

    T

    Notes for parents and teachers:

    These worksheets and activities progress from our CVC and Short Vowels workbook. They introduce   and practice digraphs and blending skills. These can be tricky for younger learners and we have   included a large amount of practice worksheets. We have also included an online game / App at the   end that enables these skills to be practiced using a different format.

     

    What is inside

    • 12 Say it, Complete it, Write it Worksheets: Covers the most common blends and digraphs and asks students to finish and write the word. Uses pictures to encourage vocabulary growth or visual recognition as well.
    • 8 Finish the Word Activities: Uses images again to ask students to look at the picture and use the correct blend or digraph to complete the word.
    • 4 Word Create Worksheets: These use a different approach. No images included as the task asks students to try to pick between two blends, sounds or digraphs to make a word and then be able to say it. Although there is an actual word for each task this is less important than having the students try to complete and then say the word they have created. – of course it better if they can create the actual word, but this is primarily a skills practicing worksheet.
    • 6 Pick the Blend / Digraph Worksheets: Students have to pick between two blends or digraphs to correctly spell the word. Pictures included.
    • 2 Which Digraph worksheets: Similar to the previous worksheets, these add a little complexity by offering more choices to use to complete the words.
    • 13 ’’Where is the’’ Activities: Students have to color the correct words the correct color. These aim to introduce both the common blends and digraphs and the others that are less well known.
    • 4 Blends and digraph Word Searches: Students write, color and then fin the words in this classic activity.
    • Farming for phonics: Although this is a short vowel activity it uses words that have ending digraphs in them. So revises short vowels and introduces digraphs!
    • Digraph coloring sheet: Asks students to color words with digraphs to reveal a picture
    • 1 long and short vowel Spot the difference: 8 activities sheets that have 5 tasks on each. They cover common blends and digraphs.
