Spelling Activity Cards

lesson. Whether you're working with younger learners just starting their spelling journey or older students who need reinforcement, these cards offer a range of activities to suit different learning styles.

Here’s what makes these cards special:

• Reusable and Durable: Print the cards, laminate them, and use them again and again. They’re perfect for literacy groups, independent work, fast finishers, Daily 5, or as part of your regular spelling routine.

• Bright and Appealing: Each card is colorful and engaging, making them more appealing to students. This visual element helps to motivate students to participate actively in their spelling practice.

• Clear Instructions and Examples: Every card clearly outlines the activity and includes an example picture, so students can see what their work should look like. This makes it easier for them to understand and complete the task independently.

A Variety of Activities for All Levels

The Spelling Cards offer a wide range of activities that challenge students in different ways. Here are just a few examples of the engaging activities included:

• Other Handed: Students write out their spelling words as they usually would, then challenge themselves to write the same words using their non-dominant hand! It’s a fun way to build both brain and muscle memory.

• Colourful Letters: In this activity, students write their spelling words, then rewrite them, using a different colored pencil for each letter. This makes it visually appealing and helps students focus on each individual letter in the word.

• Vowel Circle: Students write out their spelling words and then go back and circle all the vowels. This reinforces their understanding of vowel sounds and their importance in spelling.

• Break into Sounds: Students break down their spelling words into individual sounds. For example, the word "show" has two sounds: /sh/ and /ow/. This activity helps students connect spelling with phonics and pronunciation.

Additional Pages to Use with Spelling Cards

To complement the Spelling Cards, we also provide printable pages that teachers can download and use with the activities. These pages are designed for students to write their spelling words in as they complete each activity. Afterward, the pages can be:

• Glued into a spelling book: Students can collect their work into a personal spelling book, keeping track of their progress over time.

• Used to create a personalized spelling book: These downloadable pages can be printed and bound together to form a custom spelling book for each student. This encourages a sense of ownership over their learning and gives them a fun keepsake to review their spelling progress.

How to Use Spelling Cards in Your Classroom

The flexibility of these spelling cards means they can be used in a variety of ways:

• Spelling Centers or Literacy Groups: Incorporate the cards into your literacy rotations to give students independent or group activities they can complete.

• Fast Finisher Activities: If students finish their work early, they can grab a spelling card and work on their words while waiting for others.

• Daily 5 Spelling Practice: These cards make a great addition to your Daily 5 routine, offering students creative ways to practice their spelling words every day.

• Homework or Home Practice: The cards are easy to send home with students to reinforce their spelling practice outside of the classroom.
