Build-A-Word

I wanted to share this easy and fun activity that ALuv and I did to review his blends, digraphs, short vowels; not to mention blending phonemes together to make words.  He enjoyed this so much that he asked to play again and again.  I’m planning on changing up my dice* so we can. 🙂

• 1st dice: b, sh, ch, st, f, & m
• 2nd dice: a, e, i, o, u, & another u
• 3rd dice: t, ll, p, d, n, & g

*Make sure you label each die: 1, 2, & 3!

He rolled each die individually and placed them in their proper boxes at the top of this sheet:

Then, he blended the sounds together and wrote the word either in the “real word” or “nonsense word” category.  He played until one column was completely filled.

Want to give it a try? This activity came from Flordia’s Center for Reading Research.  (pgs. 13-17)  I used the blank dice template  (pg. 37) to create my own.

Thank you for joining This Reading Mama on a literacy journey!
