Teacher Tip By listening to the recording, you can notice: • fluency accuracy - are they reading the words correctly? • fluency smoothness - are they able to blend words or are they still choppy in their decoding? • letter-sound knowledge

Teacher Tip By looking at the moved letters, you can notice: • phoneme-to-grapheme relationships • decoding and encoding CVC words

Teacher Tip By looking at the completed page, you can notice: • comprehension of text

Draw, write, or add images to your picture here

Teacher Tip This exercise uses a variation of an Elkonin Box. It's used to find the sounds in words. The arrow is for blending. By looking at the moved letters, you can notice: • phoneme-to-grapheme relationships • decoding and encoding CVC words

Teacher Tip By listening to the recording, you can notice: • fluency expression - do they use any intonation in their voice? • fluency accuracy - are they reading the words correctly? • fluency rate - are they reading an appropriate pace? • fluency smoothness - are they able to blend words or are they still choppy in their decoding?

I can skip like a kitten.

I can climb like a koala.

Teacher Tip By looking at the lines students draw, you can notice: • fine motor skills • phoneme-to-grapheme relationships • vocabulary acquisition

Teacher Tip When using the pen tool, it will not allow students to listen to the audio. You can edit the instructions to have students drag the word to the image or vice versa for matching. You can also encourage students to listen to all of the words first and then use the pen tool afterwards.

Ruled paper

Study the letter and sound below. For the following activity, you'll notice an image and word on one page and sound boxes on the next. Complete the sound charts on the following pages and listen for this letter sound.

/k/

Teacher Tip The letter Kk will many times be accompanied by the letter 'c' to create the digraph 'ck' that represents the sound /k/ in words. The letter Kk can be silent in words such as 'knit'. This page is instructional only.

When can the letter Kk represent the sound /k/?
