This is a variety of word work activities to be used in a small group setting or a center.
I’m using this activities with kids that I’m tutoring in the afternoons.
This packet includes:
• Fluency Phrase cards—These phrases are adapted from Fry’s list—
• Letter cards for building words with Elkonin boxes
• Word cards for building sentences. The words are coded with hearts for different
parts of speech to help students make sure their sentences have a who or a what.
• A recording sheet for both building words and building sentences.
