Great product. Loved using it with my students. 🙂
Sharon Rodrigues –
Great resource! I like that there are two variations that we can use based on clients needs -1) Read and then find the pictures or 2) find the sound in the pictures and then write the word.
Angela P. –

Cristina M. –

GKN Learning –
Thanks for the addition to our phonics lessons. Some of the words included are not decodable in our OG sequence so it wasn’t as helpful as I hoped.
Stephanie N. –
This was exactly what I was looking for. My son has “mastered” Words Their Way, because he can visually sort, but when it comes to sorting based on sounds and spelling, he is unable to do so. This resource fills in that gap!! Thank you.

It’s great for independent work/centers too. The option of reading the word/writing the word allows for differentiation as well.

Lisa Marshall –
My kids love these! They beg me to do them! Thanks so much!
Tracy S. –
I use these as word work warm ups as students are beginning our small group time. I like that I can prep my days lesson while they are working on a fun practice. I think they like the routine because when I need more sets copied and forget they are not very happy with me! Great Resource!
Kristin Niswonger –
These are a fun way to get students reading and writing target words. They don’t even realize they are practicing because they enjoy the seek-and-color aspect of the activity so much. Thank you for creating such an engaging resource!
