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 ar, er, ir, or, ur. 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 Bossy R 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 about this activity.
This activity comes with:
Word Scramble
-Students
can sort between scrambled words or by pictures.
1st

Worksheets
There
are 3 different types of worksheets.
Worksheet #1:
Students walk around the room looking for cards. Once they have found a card, students will unscramble
the word and write the word under the correct category. When all of the blanks are filled have students
pick two words from the list and write them into sentences.
Worksheet #2:
Students pick a word from the bottom of the worksheet to write a
sentence about it. Continue to do this
until all of the words have been used.
Worksheet #3: Students read the unscrambled
words, cut the pictures out, and glue the pictures next to the scrambled
word. Then students will write the
correct word next to its picture. At the
bottom of the worksheet, students will pick one word to write a sentence about
it.
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 Bossy R
-I
wrote down videos, activities, and books that cover 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 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.
