Bossy R Picture and Word Sort

If you like for your students to move around and work together than this is a activity for you.  

I like to place word cards around the classroom and have students go find them.  When students find the words they write them under ar, er, ir, or, ur.  I also like to give students either a picture or a word and then have them find their match.  Both activities are lots of fun.

This activity can be used in whole or small group.  I like to use it in whole group.  It is fun and engaging for the whole class.  Each person is able to participate and interact with each other.  

Here is some more detailed information about this activity.

Worksheet

This activity comes with 4 worksheets.
Worksheet #1:  Place picture cards around the room.  Then have students walk around the room looking for picture cards.  Once they have found a card, have them write the word under the correct category.  When all of the blanks are filled have them pick two words from the list and write them into sentences.
Worksheet #2: Have students circle the words that match the picture.  Then have them pick two words and write them into sentences.
Worksheet #3: Have students fill in the blanks with the Bossy R.  Then have students pick words and write them under the correct category. 

Worksheet #4: Have students cut out pictures and glue them under the correct category.  Students will then sound out the word and write it under the correct category.

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 Plan

-I created a lesson plan that could be used for this literacy activity.  The lesson plan comes with common core state standards, and ideas on how to use this activity. 

Video Ideas and Books that Teach Bossy R

-I wrote down videos that cover Bossy R.  I also wrote down books and activities that you can read or do that will help emphasize Bossy R.

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.
