Combination ur (Bossy r): Read It! Say It! Find It!

Day 2 of Winter Break and I am working away with independent activities my firsties can use to practice reading and comprehending irregular spelled words.

1L2d.: Students will use conventional spelling for words with 
common spelling patterns and for frequently occurring irregular words. 

1RF3d.: Recognize and read grade-appropriate irregularly spelled words.

Combination ur (Bossy r): Read It! Say It! Find It!: BOOM interactive, self-checking, digital task cards. My firsties loved the ones I created before Christmas for them to practice various skills. These BOOM cards practice auditory listening skills that so many of my students are still struggling with. It is the discriminating of each phoneme that throws them. In these BOOM cards the students have to listen for the word and then chose from three choices for the correct word. It really helps them to practice listening to each sound. This compliments Saxon Phonics and Spelling 1st Grade Lesson 77.
