Winter Olympics Phonics Challenge
Phonics Olympic Activity
Do you want to make sure your students are on track with their reading in first grade? Track phonics progress in a fun way while linking reading to social studies and the study of the Winter Sports competition.
Increase the academic learning by adding skills-based centers to your curriculum, In this packet, students practice reading multi-syllabic CVCCVC words while "bobsled racing", play an r-controlled vowel "hockey game", practice sentence fluency while riding "the luge", go "skating" with vowel pairs, "skiing" with inflectional endings, and practice reading fluency phrases at a winter sports competition
These lessons are fun and engaging and can be easily used during center time, in a classroom as an extension, in a homeschool, or an intervention setting. Your students will love these games! I know mine do!
Or, as I love to do, bring the Olympics fun into your full content by using our cross-curricular thematic unit!
