Such a fun and engaging activity. I love that there is both the digital and printable resource available. This allows me to teach the skill as a whole group using the smartboard, and then print it for word work centres. I have also uploaded a few pages to my Google classroom and assigned them to students.

This was a great resource to use with my students to introduce changing sounds in a word. They really liked the 1 I used to teach them what to do. I am looking forward to using this in a center for independent practice.
