Guess Who Sight Word Edition and Guess Who Vowel Pairs Edition

These posters help children to identify the pattern in words, how they are used, how to correctly map the sounds, and how to mark the word when spelling.

As a teacher, I was always struggling to remember each rule or pattern for the syllable types or patterns I was teaching! These are great to support YOU and your STUDENTS. You can cover them up when you haven't learned a pattern yet and they get to "unlock" the code as you work on that lesson!

Includes:

6 syllable types

The 7 jobs of silent e

Word Families

Prefixes and suffixes (how to map them) & what the prefixes and suffixes are and what their definition is

Homophones, homographs, homonyms

Let's be honest, phonemic awareness can be SO boring for our students! Whenever we are working on it they want to use the words in sentences or want to see a picture of what that word means! Now they have a picture to connect to the word!

These cards are so much fun my students beg me to work with them! I let them choose their manipulative; whether it is play-dough to tap, legos, chips, or blocks! This also gives those kiddos struggling with blending and segmenting a concrete method to gain those skills!

The cards are broken into each vowel so that you can easily practice phonemic awareness with the vowel you are working on. You can also mix them up so they can practice the skill for each vowel!

-Includes

-vowels; ar,or,er,ur,ir

-R-controlled vowel words with a picture

-Sound boxes on the front

-The word and amount of sounds on the back for self-correction!

Spelling is hard! There are so many patterns and we have to decide which one to use! This is a handout that is made for students to use as their OWN sound wall. My students always have a binder with helpful handouts for spelling and reading! This one is great! They say the sound, find the patterns that make that sound and spell with it!

If you are anything like me you hate using physical cards because you lose them, or just simply set them down and forget where you set them. I create slides for each day of instruction. This helps to create seamless transitions from each subject.
