Scaffolding + Extension Tips
Challenge students who already understand the concept to put the cards in alphabetical order, thinking logically about how each letter in the word contributes to its ordering in a list.
Support students who need help understanding the concepts by using a vowel phonemes poster or an anchor chart as a visual reference.
More Ways to Practice Using the AI Vowel Team
Use this resource as independent practice for fast finishers and full-class learning opportunities like scoot activities, lesson reviews, formative assessments, and more.
Match Me If You Can
In your guided reading group, give each student 3 cards that only they can see. Using a gameboard, go through each image one at a time and say the word as a group. The student who has the word card lays it down face up. The first person to have all their cards face up wins.
Swat!
During small group instruction, create a grid of cards on top of a table and give each student a fly swatter. Read the word on one of the cards. The first student to swat the word card correctly sets the card aside in their own pile to keep score. The student with the most cards wins.
Upcycle into Playing Cards
Print 2 sets of calling cards for students to play card games like Match It, Go Fish, or Snap.
