Then have them say the word out loud. Keep in mind that for many of these words, there is more than one correct answer. The goal of this activity is to help children recognize the missing vowel.
So the next time your first graders try to spell or write a new word, they will remember to include vowels. Short Vowel Word Scramble Level 2: The focus of this activity is to build basic phonetic skills so; only short vowels should be used at this time.
See if they can unscramble the word. As your child builds in confidence try adding blends. When our incoming first graders arrive at school, the first few days we focus most of our attention on playing loads of phonics games.
This way the students who are proficient in their letter sounds are just having fun reviewing. The weaker students get to strengthen their skills, boost their confidence and socialize while being productive. What better way is there to give first graders all the tools they need than having fun playing our games! If you want some more information regarding reading and phonics for your incoming first grade, be sure to check out our post:. Here is a complete list of the products we use in our first grade classroom for our fun phonics games.
First Grade Phonics Letter Sound Games At the beginning of first grade, it is not unusual for children to proudly boast about their knowledge of the alphabet and each letters sound. Knock on the Desk: Ideally, this game should be played in a quiet area. One student is given a basket with some magnetic objects inside. The student with the basket will hold up an object and the other student will have to say the sound of the first letter of that object.
The teacher will write a letter of the alphabet on the board. One student will be called up, say the sound the letter makes, and the class will copy the sound.
Everyone except for the student in front of the class will quickly and quietly bring up the object they have that begins with that sound. To become skilled readers, children must have strong base in phonics, or an understanding of the sounds of printed letters and words. Children will use phonics when learning how to blend sounds together to read words.
Your child will also use phonics to spell words when they write. In 1st grade your child will start by being able to read CVC words consonant-vowel-consonant words like t-a-p, then move on to read words that start with bl, sl, and tr.
If your child is just starting to read or still seems unsure, review the alphabet and letter sounds. Next, look at short CVC consonant-vowel-consonant words top, cat, fog and so on and have your child break them apart into their individual sounds. Talk or play games about letter sounds for fewer than 5 minutes a day. While driving, give your child some 2 letter words and 3 letter words to spell like see, look, up, go. Keep the activities fun and light so kids can enjoy a quick challenge and get a boost of confidence from practicing one skill a day.
Remember, we want children to develop a love of reading, so focus on reading the books they enjoy over and over again. The goal of reading is to understand the story; phonics will help kids sound out words quickly to comprehend what they read.
What sound does each letter make in this word on the cereal box? Start by making sure your child knows every upper- and lowercase letter in the alphabet.
Find the letters in natural settings, like on a poster at the movie theatre. Ask if your child can say the letter name and letter sound they see. What letter does it start with? Did you hear the mmmm sound? Children are naturally curious about the print they see all around them, so use it as a meaningful teachable moment. Phonics is the practice so you can read on your own! Use a stick to trace letters in dirt or sand. Draw a simple ladder of two long lines and four rungs on a piece of paper.
See how high your ladder will reach! Explain to your child that sometimes two letters will stand together to create one new sound. Sign up for our free 5-day email series to learn what phonics skills to teach and how to structure your phonics lessons!

Thank you so much for creating and sharing the short vowel games! Thank you for offering these! Thank you for sharing all these wonderful resources with us! They look so great! We are getting ready to start on our 3rd year of homeschooling with a 1st and 2nd grader. This is great! Do you have any suggestions when using this product if confusion arises?
Hi Emily! Kids will get used to the short vowel sounds when they learn word families. Accents also play a role. For example, Anna uses apricots as a short a word in her picture cards.
Make sure the children know that ham, ram, lamb, etc. Hope this helps! Hi, Anna. I am working on a project to help elementary teachers using effective activities that are aligned with benchmarks and I found your activities materials which I believe will motivate students to learn. I am asking permission to borrow your ideas for CVC game board.
Hi Aileen! Please send me an email so we can discuss this more. Just wondering — what are the colored spaces for? Based on the instructions, the kids seem to always move to a picture space. This game looks fantastic but unfortunately it seems the link takes me to a phonics book instead of the game.
Am I using the wrong link? Thank you! I love them and the fact that you share so many freebies makes it more interesting. Huge thanks for sharing your work and resources with the people all around the world. Just a little suggestion and also appreciation of your incredible resources??
HI Sonia! The link takes me to another pack. Can you please send me the file? Once you enter your email address, the file will be sent to you immediately. Thanks for giving it another try! This is absolutely perfect and just what I have been looking for!!! My tutoring student loves games and challenges, and needs lots of practice on the short vowel sounds. I am really grateful and impressed that you have offered so much here for FREE!!! So many resources offer a tiny free tidbit that just makes you realize you need to purchase the rest in order to get full use of the game.
Thank you for offering such a complete resource for free. Thank you so much for your free printables. They have been such an inspiration as I begin my small groups.

As a teacher, spending my own little bit of money on resources print outs, printer ink, lamination sheets, etc. Thank you for all the time and thought you have put into these resources. Thank you so much for all your creative, free activities! My dyslexic students love them, and I love have alternatives to my same old boring stuff! I love every single one.
