WORD WORK: Spelling, Phonics, Phonemic Awareness

Spelling, Phonics, and Phonemic Awareness: Working with Words Notebooks and Pocket Chart Folders

I created student labeled Working With Word notebooks and folders for this coming 2007-2008 school year.

The pocket charts were $1 at Target. 

I cut them down to size (I got 2 pocket charts out of one), and then sewed up the cut sides.

The letter cards are printed back to back on cardstock (lowercase/uppercase) and then laminated and cut.

I inserted the letter cards into "9-Pocket Baseball Card Holders)" that are labeled.

Everything is put into a 3-pronged folder.

Below are two types of activities that can be used with the notebooks/folders.

In both cases, students get their letter cards based on the letters I write on the board.

They then listen to a series of directions that I call out and then make and write the word.

My students will help assemble their notebooks/folders (sorting letter cards, labeling letter pockets).
