- Spiral bound set of index cards (I could only find these neon ones, but I think they worked better than plain white ones)
- Sharpie marker (I liked this one with a fine tip and a regular tip)
- Scissors
1. Cut the index cars about 1/3 from the left (This is better illustrated in the picture on the right) so that to have a smaller card on the left and larger card on the right. With regular scissors you can only cut through about 5 cards at a time, so use your previously cut card to line up the next one so that your cards will flip easily.
2. Write your word families on the cover and the right hand cards (This is why I loved having the fine tip sharpie for the cover and the regular tip for the cards). The list I used was: est, in, ock, ug, ack, ant, ick, ame, ide, ink, ate, ump, eat, ore, oil, op, ine, ice, ain, ank, at, ash, eep, ight, oke, unk, own, ing, and y. You can use just about any word families that your child needs.
3. On the left hand cards write the blends and letters. I used: B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Qu, R, S, T, V, W, Y, Z, ab, ad, bl, cl, fl, gl, pl, sl, br, cr, dr, fr, gr, tr, th, sh, ch, wh, sch, sk, sn, sm, sp, st, str, sw, kn. Notice I did not use any vowels, or "X" and I used "Qu" instead of just "Q".
If I had it to do over I would NOT have capitalized the single letters,
but it still turned out nicely!
Like this idea? Pin it!!
