Long e (-y), ey, and y 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 Long e (-y), ey, y.  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.

Lesson Plan

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

Video Ideas and Books that Teach Long e (-y), ey, and y

-I wrote down videos that cover Long e (-y), ey and y.  I also wrote down books that you can read that will help emphasize on Long e (-y), ey and y.

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.
