Literacy Activities

I am really enjoying teaching first grade.  It has been challenging, but rewarding.  God has blessed me with so many different ideas.  I came up with three ideas for High Frequency Words and OA and OW. 
                                                        High Frequency Words List A, B, and C

 

 I use these High Frequency Words on my Word Wall.  I made list A and B.  There are two hundred High Frequency Words.  I have also used them to play games like Go Fish, and Memory.

OA and OW Story, Word Display, and Literacy Activities

 

 My students had so much fun learning how oa and ow found each other.  I made a wall display that comes with two songs and a short story.  My students loved singing to the songs.  It really helped them to remember the sounds that oa and ow make.  The literacy activities that come with it are a puzzle sort and picture/word match.  You have to sort both activities by oa and ow.

                                             OA and OW Word Sort and Word Scramble

  

 

I really liked making the word scramble.  I showed students the words with a picture.  Then I showed them the words scrambled and had them try to figure out what the words were.  The answers to the words are on the back.  It was really cool to see my students working so hard to try to figure out what a word says. 

My main goal is to have students walking around the room and reading the different words to their peers.
