Encourage student movement in reviewing or learning phonemes, letter sounds, simple CVC words, sight words, syllables, antonyms, synonyms, homophones

This is a review game that students can play as they practice reading words
with short vowel sounds. Students can help students build decoding and
fluency skills as they work within a small group. All short vowels should be
introduced before playing this game with students.

The following lesson is an introductory/review lesson for teaching students to blend words at the phoneme level. This activity is great for emergent learners. As students master beginning and ending sounds and short vowels are introduced, students are ready to start blending words using phonemes, which will foster decoding words in text. Students needing extra support can blend at the onset and rime level. This can be done over a span of 4 weeks since there are multiple tiers of 3, 4, and 5 phoneme boards.
