Bossy R Worksheets

*8 worksheets with answer keys

* Picture Sort Worksheet with answer key

*Word and Picture sort

Black and White Word Cards

-I made a card for every Bossy R word used in this activity.  You can either send the cards home or create games using the cards like Memory or Go Fish.

Lesson Plans

-I created lesson plans that could be used for this literacy activity.  Lesson Plans come with common core state standards and ideas on how to use each activity.

Reading Practice and Home Activity Letters

-The reading practice letter has words that go with the skill of the week.  It gives parents suggestions how to make reading the words fun.

-The home activity letter has students find a picture that covers the skill for the week and glue on the back of it.  Students can use magazines, online pictures, or draw their own picture.  Students bring back the letter and sort the pictures by the skill of the week.

Bossy R Assessment

-This tests the skill for the week.  There are two parts to the assessment.  In the first part, students read words.  In the second part, students apply the words into sentences.  On the teacher copy, circle the words that students get correct.  When students are reading sentences, check for the skill words for the week and circle the words they get correct.  If students get 8/10 right then they have mastered the skill.

Video Ideas and Books that Teach Bossy R

-I wrote down videos, books, and activities that help teach this skill.

Here is an example on how to use this activity: I play several games with word cards as a whole group.  The main games that I play that my students love is mingle and 2 circle game.  Mingle is where you give each student a card.  You start the game by saying “mingle”.  Students will walk around the room until you say stop.  When you say stop, students are to find the closest person to them to partner up with.  They read their card to them and then switch cards.  I repeat this game until students lose interest.  The 2 circle game is where I have students get into 2 circles (an inner and outer circle).  When they get into their circle they make sure that they have a partner that faces them.  Students read their card to their partner and switch cards.  Then I have the inner circle move to the right one time.  Continue to do this until students have made a complete circle.  You can also give each student a picture or a word card.  Then have them find its match. 

Common Core State Standards that are covered in this activity

RF.1.1, RF.1.2, RF.1.3, RF.1.3.c, RF.1.4, RF.1.4.a, RF.1.4.b, RF.1.4.c

Bossy R Worksheets

If you are looking for morning work, center work, or homework then this activity is for you.  

I love using this activity in my classroom.  I teach my students how to use each worksheet and then give it to them to complete.  Each worksheet should be easy to use for your students.  I have several worksheets that cover different phonic skills.  Each morning when my students walk in the door, I give them a worksheet that covers the skill that we are currently working on.  This gives students something to practice while I am taking attendance, checking lunches, and handling anything that arises at the beginning of school.  Giving students the same types of activities, but with different skills creates predictability that helps students know what to expect every day when they walk in.

I do recommend showing students the word and picture sort first.  This will give students the opportunity to go over the pictures and words before completing the worksheets on their own.  It will make this activity much easier if your students understood what each picture is.  

Here is some more detailed information about this activity.

Bossy R Word Scramble

Are you looking for a different kind of word sort than this is for you?  The word cards are scrambled and students have to unscramble them and sort them by ar, er, ir, or, ur.  I use this activity during whole group learning.  I will have students talk to their shoulder partner and try to figure out what the word is.  My students really like this activity because it gives them the opportunity to work with their friends and try to figure out the words that are scrambled.  

Before using this activity, I recommend using another Bossy R activity that teaches students different words that have that skill in them.  It will make using this word scramble much easier.
