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 ie, igh. 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 ie, igh 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 set
of cards are scrambled words with the correct words on the back.
2nd set
of cards have words and pictures
-Word Scramble
comes in color and black and white
-This activity
covers 22 words
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 ie and igh
-I wrote down
videos, activities, and books that cover 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 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.
