The mega pack of task cards is great to use for literacy centers, small-group instruction, or during homeschooling.

Because the task cards are decodable, the words are carefully selected to ensure that they contain only the phonics patterns and sight words students have already learned so children can build fluency and confidence as they read and have ample opportunities to practice and reinforce their new skills.

And THAT means students will be able to complete the activities independently so you're freed up to work with your small reading groups.

Just print the cards, cut them apart, laminate for extra durability, and place each set in a task box for simple storage. The sets even includes task box labels to keep your collection organized and easy to find.

The post Sound Maps appeared first on Playdough To Plato.

Old school lists like Dolch and Fry were sorted by the frequency words appear in text. For instance, THE is written most often so it’s the first words students practice. The philosophy isn’t terrible – if a child is going to read THE more than any other word, it makes sense that learning it first would come in handy.

The problem is that THE is often taught right alongside other words that follow completely different rules: OF, AND, A... And that means kids have to wrap their brain around:

- the short A sound in AND,
- the long A sound in A,
- the F that makes a V sound in OF,
- and (as if that wasn’t enough!) the two letters T & H that make just one sound in THE.

It’s no wonder that so many students struggle with sight word lists!

But there is a *much* easier way! Instead of sorting sight words by frequency, we can sort them by phonics skill. Then students can master one spelling rule at a time!

These print-and-go sheets make it so easy for you to do just that! They include the Dolch sight words through second grade, the first 200 Fry sight words, and the Zeno sight words.

"I really feel like this is the holy grail of word work activities. I'm using it for at-home practice for my first grade child, and I love the variety included as well as ease of use. I mostly use the activities that are blank and can be used with any list (her favorites are Add it Up, Small/Med/Large and Magic Words), but I LOVE the ones where you can type the words in and they auto-populate the activity for you. It's like magic and it's so easy. Thank you!" - Emily Knutson
