Learn to Read: Short e Review Reader & Activities
The freebies and paid for activities are kind of mixed in together within this post. Beside each freebie, I’ll put {free} so you know what exactly is in the free short e review download. Also note that what you see below is not all of the activities from Lesson 20 in Unit 5.
To practice the two new sight words, we always pick a couple of animal sight word chants or people sight word chants and then she does her rainbow roll & write page {free}.
The color reader {free} can be downloaded and opened with Adobe Reader. It can be printed front to back {short ways}. Once it’s stacked together, you can staple it with a long-arm stapler to make a little book. The bundle pack also includes the reader in black & white.
I love all the different ways she has to interact with the sight word activity page. She has to read the word, trace the word, write the word, find the word {from similar words/misspelled words}, then cut and paste the word.
There are a couple of word sorts to review the 3 word families from lesson 17-19. This is just one of them. The other sorting activity requires writing the words.
Just Swap 1 {free} has become a reader favorite. To play, learners take letter tiles and follow the arrows to build each word. Each time a new word is to be built, learners only need to swap one letter. This is a GREAT activity to get learners segmenting and listening for the three sounds in each word, also known as phonemic awareness.
The bundle pack also includes extra short e review activities, like our Dab and Write pages. She dabs the letters with our dot paint to spell each short e word,
then writes each word.
Another fun short e review activity is Climb & Slide. It’s played in a similar manner as Chutes and Ladders, only kids are reading short e words when they land on them. She chose to use her new Shopkins as playing pieces. They fit just right!
To practice the 8 sight words from Unit 5, she likes to do the Sight Word Shapes page. This week, I underlined each sight word in a different colored pencil. She had to write the sight words in different colors. {Sometimes it just takes a tiny change like this to freshen up an activity.}
One of my favorite review activities from the last lesson in Unit 5, Roll & Write, gets learners reading, spelling, writing sentences, and drawing a picture.
To set it up, I grabbed two different colored dice and printed off the writing page. I circled the sight word chart the color of the first die and the word family chart in the color of the second die.
She rolled both die, placing them on the each chart {1 and 2}.
She then thought of a sentence that included both words {the sight word and the word family word} and wrote it on the recording page: Can I get a pet? After writing the sentence, she re-read it and drew a picture to match in the space on the recording sheet.
Roll, Read, & Find {free} is another no prep way to review sight words and short e word family words from Unit 5.
