HOW TO DIFFERENTIATE THESE PHONICS BOARD GAMES

You can make this game as easy or as difficult as you wish. For example, you may want to only include a few CVC words for those students who are just learning to blend sounds. Other students may play with all of the CVC cards. Similarly, you may have some students working on reading CVC or CVCe words while others are working on reading and writing CVC and CVCe words.

IS THERE AN EXIT TICKET OR RESPONSE PAGE?

Yes, I have included a response page for the phonics games. This is a great opportunity to practice handwriting and encoding (writing the sounds students hear.) The response page is optional.

NOTE: If you are a member of the CLEVER SCHOOL TEACHER MEMBERSHIP Site, this file will be included in your 2021 – 2022 LOOT! Do not purchase this file as it is exactly the same.

WHAT OTHER TEACHERS ARE SAYING:

“My students love these games. As a first-year RTI teacher, these were great! Engaging and fun for students while giving them the repetition they need. Loved the color and b&w option. I put the writing sheets in sheet protectors to save paper. Thanks!!”
