ai, ay Word Sort

Are you looking for a whole group activity that will help your students learn ai, ay then this is your activity?

When I do this activity, I will first start by placing the ai, ay in a pocket chart. I will place them in a way that will allow them to be categorized. Then I will show the words and have students sound it out with me. I will then ask students which category the word should go under. I make sure that all of the words go under the correct category. The next thing I do is take all of the words out of the pocket chart and give one card to each student. I will then play Mingle with my students. 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. Playing Mingle gives students several opportunities to sound out different words and get help from their peers if they need it. My students always enjoy when we play this game. They like the fact that while they are learning they are up and walking around the classroom. Once you have taught this game to your students, each time that you play it the game gets easier.

Here some more detailed information about this activity:

This activity comes with:

Word Sort and Worksheet

Students read the words and place them under the ai or ay
Word Sort comes in color and black and white
Worksheet: students read the sentence and fill in the blank with the words below.
This activity covers 33 ai and ay words

Black and White Word Cards

-I made a card for every ai and ay 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 AI and AY

-I wrote down videos that cover ai and ay. I also wrote down books that you can read that will help emphasize on ai and ay.

Here is another example on how to use this activity: I like to play the 2 circles game with word cards as a whole group. The 2 circles 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.

Sight Words (Fry Words)-The Tenth Hundred Homework Packet

Homework ideas can be hard to decide on. This homework packet helps guide parents and gives them a goal to achieve by the end of the school year.

I created this product to help parents and teachers with sight words from the Fry Sight Words List. This packet will allow the parent and student to go at a reasonable pace. There are 10 word lists that have 10 words in each. Parents can use the word cards as flashcards. When the parents think their child is ready to be tested on a word list then they write ready on the checklist. The teacher then goes over the word list with the student. If the student has learned it then the teacher marks off the list with a checkmark. If the student does not pass the list then the teacher writes down the words that the student missed.
