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.

This activity comes with:

Word and Picture Sort
-Students will match pictures to words and sort by ie and igh
-I left some cards blank so you can fill them out and add pictures
-This activity covers 22 ie and igh words

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.

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.

Bossy R Worksheets

If you are looking for morning work, center work, or homework then this activity is for you.

I love using this activity in my classroom. I teach my students how to use each worksheet and then give it to them to complete. Each worksheet should be easy to use for your students. I have several worksheets that cover different phonic skills. Each morning when my students walk in the door, I give them a worksheet that covers the skill that we are currently working on. This gives students something to practice while I am taking attendance, checking lunches, and handling anything that arises at the beginning of school. Giving students the same types of activities, but with different skills creates predictability that helps students know what to expect every day when they walk in.

I do recommend showing students the word and picture sort first. This will give students the opportunity to go over the pictures and words before completing the worksheets on their own. It will make this activity much easier if your students understood what each picture is.
