I made these little simple onset and rime matching games over the summer.
Ahhh...summer.
Anyway, I've gotten so much use out of these since school started. It's such a simple concept. Match the beginning sound to the ending sound. The graphics are so important to beginning readers, and I tried to use common words the students would know.
When I opened my TPT (Teachers Pay Teachers) store in September, I wanted something to offer for free to teachers that they could really use. As of today, close to 50,000 of them have been downloaded. I get such a thrill knowing kids all over the country are using a little game that I made!
If you'd like to download them, click here. You need to download all the games separately.
You need to copy and laminate all the cards. I like to cut them with a paper trimmer and I cut outside the colored lines. It looks nicer and takes less thought.
When I set it up for the kids in school, I separate the cards, and put the onsets on the left and the rimes on the right or I use 2 mini pocket charts side by side.
These are the mini pocket charts from Target. I LOVE them and I bought about 14 of them in August. (yes, turquoise!!!!!! <3) They're all over my room.
Kids get extra practice writing the CVC words with the addition of recording sheets. There are answer keys in each set, as well.
I made a set for each of the five vowel sounds.
If you're a teacher and you're creative, think about opening up a TPT store. Since I opened mine in September, I've had a blast. Enjoy!!!
Have fun teaching!
I just found your blog today. I love your blog design. You games look like they will help some of my struggling readers. I am off to check them out. Maria
ReplyDeleteHello and thank you for a great resource. My grandson is 5 years old and a Kindergartener virtual student and I am his home educator/ learning coach. The school provides him online textbook for the main 4 Core subjects and 2 specials, however no other materials. I downloaded the different packets you graciously are sharing and I am unable to open without a password... Thank you
