Short vowels can be found just about anywhere. One great place to look is inside your own classroom. In this lesson, students will enjoy going through the class list to sort the names of their peers based on short vowel sounds.

Have your students jump into this fun reading lesson. It features an engaging game of hopscotch and lots of sight word practice.

Let's clip some letter sounds. Have your students "pin" these common sight words into their memories with this letter sound recognition and sound blending lesson.

In this fun blending lesson, students will get a chance to read and spell grade level words. This can be used as a stand-alone lesson or support for the Cooking Up Blends lesson plan.

Do your students need extra practice forming words with the suffixes -er and* -est* depending on the context? With an abundance of words to explore, your students will learn how to determine which suffix is best for each individual context.

Have students “cook” the right blends to make a fantastic word dish with beginning, middle, and ending letter sounds. In this lesson, your students will practice recognizing common CVC words.
