All About Word Work (Freebies!)

When I pull my 3rd grade intervention groups, we always start with a phonics lesson.  I try to have a variety of word work activities on hand to keep our lessons engaging and not the same boring activity every day.

I keep all of my small group materials in a binder.  I've printed off 7 copies of each activity and placed them in a page protector.  That way I can reuse all of my materials and kids love writing with a dry erase marker.  Of course, I had to make a cute cover for my binders.  


You can download a copy of my covers by clicking on the picture below.


With my low group, I like to start off reviewing the short vowel sounds.  Why is it that 'e' and 'i' are so tricky?  I love using these vowel sound cards that you can download {here} for free.  The graphics and hand motions really help my students remember the correct sounds.


When we are introducing new phonics patterns, I typically start with a card sort.  I give students several cards (depending on group size) and let them take turns sorting the cards into our pocket chart.  We then read the cards up and down, as a group and individually calling on students.


After the first introduction to the phonics patterns, I try to switch up our daily activities.

The sound boxes are really great if you're wanting students to concentrate on middle sounds, blends, or digraphs.  We just spent last week working on R-blends.  Oh man, I didn't think we were ever going to gr, tr, and dr with my lowest group!

Word Ladders are always fun and my kids love manipulating the letters to make new words.  This is also a really great tool to see if your kids are catching onto the patterns.  They really have to listen to your directions to know what letters to change. 

Analogy charts are great if you're wanting to kids to compare 2 or 3 different patterns.  I used this last week when I wanted my students to really focus on gr- and dr- patterns.  They were having a hard time determining when to use which pattern.  The Analogy Chart made them really have to pay attention to the sounds.

I usually save the Spelling Sort for the last day of our work on those specific patterns.  This is another tool that really makes students think about which vowel sound they hear in the word and which phonics pattern they need to use.

I wanted to give you guys all of my Word Work Printables as a freebie.  I've added them as a Facebook Fan Freebie.  All you have to do is visit my Facebook Fan page {here}, "like" my page, and click the Fan Freebie button.  Then you will be able to download these for yourself.


Do you have any tips to help make word work interesting with your students?

  2. Love these tips! On a totally unrelated note, and I hope you don't mind me changing the subject, I couldn't help admiring your wedding ring in the photo of the vowel posters.... are those sapphires in your band? I'm asking because I have become infatuated with sapphires lately, and in fact last night for my birthday, my husband gave me a white and blue sapphire band to go with my set. I love your ring ...it's very striking!

  4. Is there any way to get these freebies if you don't have a facebook? Also, how do you fit these in? Can you share what you do during a typical time with your pull-out reading groups? For instance, do you spend 15 minutes on word work and 15 on guided reading?

  9. So, I was in the process of rebuilding my credit. I was in the upper 500’s and after a lot of research I decided to go ahead and take a chance at contacting PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM even though many people didn’t believe in credit repair companies. I am a living witness that contacting PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST will raise your credit score. I am now at 802, 7 collections have been deleted. Good luck to anyone going down the same road I am. Let them know Janice Bonne referred you.

  10. A sweater with an open front secured by buttons or a Black Lambskin Sports Leather Jacket For Women zipper is by and large called a sweatshirt, however the terminology for different styles in various lingos can very confound.

  11. Went through a divorce and found out that my ex trashed my credit. In December when I took back over my financial life. I was ruined 533 FICO 8, all accounts were late, over limit, mostly charge offs. Debt was worth of $60K. immediately put a plan of action by contacting : PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM they helped me fixed my credit report by increasing my credit score. And also applied a loan for me which I used to pay off my attorney and payments to settle all charge off accounts. Negotiation took place with PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST to save my seriously delinquent, open credit account. That proved successful, thank you PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST! Opened a Discover $500 secured card. Paid off two car notes at the same time. The last $5,000 charge off account that I settled just updated on my reports today. December 2022 FICO 8 was 533, today I hit 806……. I am so **bleep** excited! On a whim I just checked to see if I could get approved for an AMEX Delta card…... YES! Approved for $6,000.

  16. Hi everyone, I want to sincerely appreciate the team PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST for the dedication and time they put into working my credit. My credit was very bad, I had drug crime and criminal records due to my divorce, DUI/DWI and one late credit card payment of $30k which affected my credit score so badly. I was trying to purchase a home for my family and also secure something for my kids in the future but I got turned down even before pre-approval, it was very devastating. My mom read about PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST on CK and informed me. I contacted them after reading some testimonies about them myself. They ran my credit report, analyzed the credit score and determined which action will have the greatest impact. They raised my credit score to 811 across 3 credit bureaus and deleted all negative items on my credit report, within 6 days. They made it work and I have a clean credit profile now. My heart is full of joy. You can reach them on +1 (323) 406 1225. OR their EMAIL: PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM

  18. My husband and I went to buy a house this year (for the first time). We started making changes in our credit history late last year but to no avail. Current score was 616 (me) and 605 (him). We tried getting it higher on our own way but it didn't work out. No negative other than 3 missed school loan payments from me (2017), I did not know they went into repayment. We have about 9k (51% usage) in credit card debt. We have a car loan (18k total). I have 50k in student loans. I implore you to get in touch with PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM OR +1 (872) 265 2951. He promised to fix my report within 6 days. He got my score up to 804 (me) 811 (him) and also all the negative items and credit card debt has been gone. Now we’re eligible to buy a house. His fee is very affordable and he always keeps to his word and time frame.
