In this activity students will drag letters into boxes to make CVC words to match the pictures
This resource supports students' ability to identify letters and letter sounds. Visuals are provided as guidance as well.
This worksheet was created as a supplemental resource for middle sound fluency instruction. Visuals have been provided to offer additional guidance.
Students will label items found in a classroom.
Students can practice their reading skills as they read stories with high-frequency words; interact with the computer to create new text; understand that changing one word in a sentence can change the meaning of the entire sentence; recognize consonant sound-spellings; distinguish easily confused letter pairs; and recognize common short and long vowel sounds as they participate in this interactive reading of Clifford's beloved stories.

Students will have to listen carefully so they can match words that have the same middle vowel sound, like "stove" and "rose."
After the lesson of explaining the reading and spelling for oi/oy, give some example words, cold call on students to read sentences that have oi/oy words in them, and ask students to come up with some oi/oy words to add to the list.
Students cut apart provided words. Teacher guides students to group similar words together. If necessary, teacher prompts with "Notice how the words look" and/or "Notice how the words sound."
For an extension, students could also create subgroups by sorting according to where the letter combination is found in the word-at the beginning, middle, or end.
It is suggested that an anchor word for each combination be added to a resource such as a word wall or word study notebook for future reference.
For assessment, students could sort and glue into the groups, read the list of words from the sort, or spell the words from the sort.
