When we use look alike words, we are requiring students to attend to all the letters and sounds in the word. This helps them build the habit of doing this and can also help break the habit of looking at the picture or using the first letter to guess the word.
These slides make it easy to practice decoding with your students and gives them a way to read words independently!
Presenting students with words that look alike can help break habits such as looking at the first letter or guessing words because they have to attend to each letter and sound to solve the word!
Did you know that memorizing words is not an effective or efficient way to learn? There are many research studies that show our brains do not store words visually.
Our brains actually store words through a mental process called orthographic mapping. There are many ways to promote this process and one of them is using look alike words!
I created these slides as a fun way for you to practice decoding WORDS WITH Tricky Y, Long & Short OO, AW/AU, OW/OU, Diphthongs, & the SCHWA with your students. You can use this game as a review anytime throughout the year!
There are 22 passages included that cover all skills from Units 3, 4, and 5. This includes Silent E, Vowel Teams, Bossy Y, Tricky Y, high frequency words, and more from my scope & sequence. Each passage also includes a word list & decodable comprehension questions!
These task cards should accompany your instruction with each skill. When you are teaching Y as E Words, you can use the Y as E cards to give kids a way to practice reading and writing words.
The skills included are based on my phonics scope & sequence(which all of my decodable resources follow). Everything is STRICTLY aligned to this scope and sequence to ensure 100% readability for students.
You get 1 book per skill which is a total of 11 books! Each book contains 6 words to decode and then draw plus a page for writing the words at the end. Each word is carefully chosen to follow my scope and sequence to ensure each word is TRULY decodable!

I created this resource to accompany my best selling word mapping centers! These slides make it easy to incorporate word mapping with your students and gives them a way to practice mapping words independently!

By making the change from standard spelling tests to skills-based spelling tests, we are creating the habit for kids to attend to sounds and how those sounds are spelled.
