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 Triple Consonant Blends. 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 Triple Consonant Blends activity that teaches students different words that have that skill in them. It will make using this word scramble much easier.
This activity can be used for literacy centers, whole group instruction, or small groups.
Here is some more detailed information on how to use this activity.
The blends I used are: spr,
spl, squ, thr, str, and scr
This activity comes with:

the correct category

next to the words, and then write the correct spelling next to the picture. At the bottom of the worksheet, students will

Black and White
Word Cards
-I
made a card for every 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 Triple
Consonant Word Blends
-I
wrote down videos, activities, and books that cover triple consonant blends.
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 circles
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
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.
