1st Grade Reading Strategies Interactive Whiteboard

Great for in class or online use, your students will use this digital magnetic letters spelling resource as they practice building or manipulating words in Canva. It works with any reading / early literacy / phonics instruction program in the classroom, in reading intervention, or tutoring.

Use it for:

• Word Manipulation
• Spelling Practice
• Word Ladders

I have a Google Slides version of the file if you would prefer or need to use a Google product rather than Canva. Please check with your tech staff before buying this file whether your students have access to Canva.

In addition to the basic letter tiles, some of the slides have optional tiles with commonly used letter combinations, such as "th" or "sh". One slide also includes accented letters, which makes it useful for teachers of languages other than English. All of the letter tiles, with the exception of the accented letters, are labeled with alt-text for use with a screen reader. (See the file preview to see which letter combinations and accented letters are included and what the letter tiles look like.)

There are many ways to use any of these slides!

• You could project one for large group work,
• use it on an interactive whiteboard,
• or you could share the file with students. They can each have their own copy, or the activity can be collaborative if they are given shared access to the file.
• You can customize a file to include only the letter tiles students will need for a particular lesson.
• Just like a 'regular' magnetic letters center activity, you can have students copy the words they've created onto a piece of paper. Unlike a regular magnetic letters center activity, you can go back and look at the work they did with the magnetic letters to see if any errors in the written copy were made with the letters or were made when copying.

You can share the files with students in all the usual ways that you can share Canva files. This activity is not just great for distance learning, but also works well for activities in class because you

• have an unlimited supply of letters because any of the tiles can be duplicated (never run out of ‘e’s!)
• don’t have to tidy the letters away after use or deal with unorganized letters (HUGE time savings!)
• can stop students in the middle of an activity and they can come back to exactly where they left off at another time.

Teachers like you said:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Angela E. says, "My students love being able to move the tiles and practice decoding and blending words."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Margaret W. says, "Great resources and was easy to teach students how to use it."
