Instructions/Tips for Implementation

Integrate these worksheets into your lesson plans as seasonal activities, reading assignments, or as part of your literacy centers. Provide students with opportunities to work individually or collaboratively to complete the reading passages and questions.

My 3rd- 5th grade Sp. Ed students LOVE these worksheets. They enjoy reading about the interesting topics and we always have a lively discussion as a result. I use these during small group time. For my students I read the passages aloud to them and have them answer the questions independently.

I have always had a hard time finding products that contained muli-syllabic words with specific syllable types AND fluency sentences that accompanied words, as opposed to long passages. That is exactly what this resource is! This Science of Reading aligned resource is such a fun way to practice phonics skills such as fluency, decoding, and more. BANG! requires little to no prep and can be use in many different ways.I am confident your students will BEG to play this game just as mine do. See each products preview for more information.

This is a GROWING bundle. Current syllable types included in this bundle:

-(2 syllable closed) "batman"

-(2 syllable open and closed) "robot"

-(1 syllable vowel consonant e) "note"

-(1 syllable r controlled syllable) "far, bird, nerd, born"

Directions:

Cut out the cards for the version you plan to use, as well as the "BANG" cards. Place them face down in a stack or in a bag or container and have students take turns drawing a card. They should read the card and keep it. If a BANG is drawn, they have to return all their cards to the deck/pile. The student who has the most cards when time is up is the winner.

Do your students love the cup stacking activities as much as mine do? Are you tired of wasting your sticky labels and not being able to reuse your cups without putting a new label on it?
