Are you looking for no-prep phonemic awareness and phonics games for teaching segmenting skills with long vowel sounds? These Roll & Cover mats for long vowel a words, long vowel e words, long vowel i words, long vowel o words and long vowel u words can be used in three different ways to develop early phonemic awareness and phonics skills, with oral and written segmenting of words with vowel team spellings.
These Roll & Cover mats can be used in a variety of ways to target different skills - use with different levels of students, or at different points of the teaching year.
Level 1: Segment the word
Students roll the dice and orally segment the word before placing a counter on top.
Level 2: Write the word
Students roll the dice and write the word on a mini whiteboard or piece of paper before placing a counter on top.
Level 3: Word with similar spelling pattern
Students roll the dice and think of a word with a similar spelling choice (e.g. if they have the word 'teeth' they might say 'green') before placing a counter on top.
Further extension ideas:
- Put the word in a sentence
- Think of a rhyming word
27 mats are included:
- 15 mats sorted by long vowel sound (e.g. long a words, long o words)
- 12 mats with long vowel words (all long vowel sounds)
