Beginning Sorts for Beginning Readers!!

I have been reading lots of posts in the Guided Reading Book Study Linky Party and I have gotten lots of great ideas!! I love the Finger Trace Alphabet Book offered by Kindergarten Lifestyle; I can't wait to add this tool to my early reading groups!!

After reading the posts, I tried to think of another idea that I use for my first reading groups... I thought about how important sorts are for beginning readers. Our brains look for patterns and sorts are a great way to help students see the patterns in letters and sounds.

This packet is a sampler of my Cut and Paste Word Work for kindergarteners; it begins with letter identification and some phonemic awareness, and then moves in phonics and word families. I hope you find these activities useful in your classroom :)

 

Thanks for looking and happy teaching :)
