NO
PREP!
Well a
little, just run a few copies!
I know
we try and stay away from copies and worksheets but these ideas are quick,
interactive, easily differentiated and will keep your students engaged!
I do
phonics daily but I always use one entire ELA block for “Spelling Workshop” it is
one of my favorite times of the week. It is a perfect time to meet with my low
kids and still challenge my high kids. The kids, for the most part, work
quietly-stay engaged and are learning!
I am homeschooling my first grade son right now and could not find a phonics bundle that had
everything that I wanted…so I made one!
Each phonics
lesson has over 20 pages that can be used in many different ways. I have a bundle on TPT right now but each lesson is also sold separately.
I
learned quickly when I started teaching that students enjoy using different
"things/items"!
I use different items from my room any chance
I get! I train my students early on, we keep a ROUTINE, and we have fun!
Here
are some things I use for my phonics and spelling block.
I use
pages from my Phonics Bundle…but
use what you have!
Here are some of my favorite items to use...
Bingo Stampers
Counters
Playdough
