Ideas for Use

Word Families - Short Vowel ''a'' - Suggestions for Use


  • Print and Laminate to make up wall charts to use for, reading and writing reference
  • We have made these quite big (4 to an A4 page) so that you can choose to keep them this way or just adjust your printer settings to print 2 or more to a page - the smaller sizes are ideal for at desk work - the larger sizes are great for display and desk work....
  • Make up laminated sets of smaller sized words with the missing letters - use these sets for children to fill in the missing letters using whiteboard markers - just focus on certain short vowel sets, or throw all the sets together for follow-up reinforcement and practice - great as a literacy group activity
  • Another variation of above idea is children copy the laminated words - include the missing letters and draw a picture in their literacy books.
  • Laminate the pictures and cut them up for rhyme sort games and activities, match them with the plain word cards - play 'concentration' with the pictures and the plain word cards. Give each child a word card and a picture and they have to find their matching partners.
  • Sort the cards and pictures according to exact word family, or word family vowel eg.. all 'ack' words, or all 'a' words
  • Laminate and cut the pictures off the picture cards using a 'puzzle' cut - children match words to pictures.
  • Laminate and cut off the word family endings using 'puzzle' cuts - children then match the pieces to 're-make' the words..
  • Children classify mixed up word cards into word family categories.

    Submitted by Danielle

    With a year one class we played What's the Time Mr Wolf - but instead of the wolf (myself) calling out 'It's one o'clock!" I used a clock with moveable hands.

  • I saw an interesting post on Pinterest the other day, showing a plastic, sandwich size, zip-lock bag that had had a piece of duct tape run along the base. The duct tape provided reinforcing that allowed holes to be punched through the bag for storage in a binder. I imagine you could run the tape down the side of larger zip-lock bags for a similar effect. This may not solve all your storage issues, but if there\'s just a few small games to go with a unit that\'s otherwise stored in a binder, it might help!

  • I was just thinking the other day that I needed some matching cards for numbers over 100 then today I came across the new parts of speech posters and thought I\'d check out the \"What\'s New\" section and there I found exactly what I had been wanting. Thank you so much for your wonderful resources. This is the first place I check when looking for resources and I\'ve been able to build a great collection since moving to the lower school grades last year. Thanks again!
