Picture Card
Directions:
*Place the picture card on the square. Then use the dotted lines for the student to write the word, sounding out the
four phonemes.
*Print the spelling mat (1 for each student) & pictures onto cardstock and laminate for durability.

Blend-a-Word
To Prep:
• Print off one Blend-a-Word game board per two players.
• Choose a game (either game #1 with beginning blends or
game #2 with ending blends)
• Print off cards for the game you chose.
To Play:
• On a workspace area, place the orange-lettered cards in one
pile facedown and red-lettered cards in another pile
facedown.
• The first player flips over the top card from each pile (one
orange and one red) and places them in the blender on the
corresponding colored squares.
• The player reads the word made (real or silly). For example,
if fl and ag are in the blender, the word would be flag.
• Players take turns doing this until all the card are gone.
To Extend:
• A recording sheet is provided where players can record the
words they make (1 per player). A space is provided for
both real and silly words.

6. The first player to get cover her entire board, shouts “Word-Wac-Woe!” You can
