oa, ow Word Sort

Are you looking for a whole group activity that will help your students learn oa, ow then this is your activity?

When I do this activity, I will first start by placing the oa, ow in a pocket chart.  I will place them in a way that will allow them to be categorized.  Then I will show the words and have students sound it out with me.  I will then ask students which category the word should go under.  I make sure that all of the words go under the correct category.  The next thing I do is take all of the words out of the pocket chart and give one card to each student.  I will then play Mingle with my students.   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.  Playing Mingle gives students several opportunities to sound out different words and get help from their peers if they need it.  My students always enjoy when we play this game.  They like the fact that while they are learning they are up and walking around the classroom.  Once you have taught this game to your students, each time that you play it the game gets easier.

oa, ow Word Scramble

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 oa, ow.  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 oa, ow 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.
