ie, igh 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 ie or igh.  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.

Worksheet

This activity comes with 4 worksheets.
Worksheet #1:  Picture cards are placed around the classroom.  Students will then walk around the classroom looking for the picture cards.  Once they have found a card, students will write the word under the correct category.  When all of the blanks are filled students will then pick two words from the list and write them into sentences.
Worksheet #2: Students circle words that match the picture.  Then they pick two words and write them into sentences.
Worksheet #3: Students fill in the blanks with the ie or igh.  Then students pick words and write them under the correct category. 
Worksheet #4: Students cut out pictures and glue them under the correct category.  Then students sound out the word and write it under the correct category.

Black and White Word Cards

-I made a card for every ie and igh words 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 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 ie and igh

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

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.

I just wanted to take the time to say thank you to everyone that has supported my store throughout the years by creating a free alphabet activity.

Ideas on how to use the Alphabet Popcorn Cards:

1.     You can play Go Fish or Memory
2.     Hide the cards around the classroom and have students find them.
3.     Put alphabet cards into a pile.  Have students flip over one card at a time.  Then have students write the letter they flipped over onto the alphabet writing page.
4.     You can play games like mingle or 2 circles.

Ideas on how to use the Alphabet Popcorn Writing Page:

2.     Once letters have been written into the popcorns, students can go back and rewrite them in a different color.  They can rewrite the letters a few times so it will look like a rainbow.

Ideas on how to use the Take Home Letter Cards:

I created these cards so that parents can have the opportunity to work with their children at home with their letters. 

This product comes in color and black and white.

Here are some activities that complement the Alphabet Popcorn Activity

School Years Daily Calendar Journal 
I tell my students that popcorn words are words that pop up everywhere.  We write the words down each day on the daily calendar journal. 

I also use the popcorn words as my password.  Before entering or leaving my classroom, my students have to tell me the password.  My students love the opportunity to tell me the popcorn word.  Check out my Password activity.

My main goal is to have students actively with their peers while learning their letters.
