Matching Cards for CVC words with -og


Worksheet: docs, pub

I use these cards in several stages.
I start out with some of the alphabet cards from this previous activity.  I take the "O" card, and ask students what sound it makes.  Then I take the "G" sound, and ask what sound it makes, and then put the two cards together, and try to get students to tell me the sound.
I then take out several consonants, and get the students to tell me the sound, and then put these consonants together with the -OG to make different words, helping students to sound them out.  
At this point I put out the picture cards, and as we do different CVC -at words, I get students to identify the pictures.  
Once all the words and pictures have been identified, then we play a memory card game to match the words and pictures.  
Lastly, I put away the word cards, and just show students the pictures.  The students have to write down the word on their mini-white boards.
