Do you use word rings in your classroom? I created these cvc word rings to use as a tool during guided reading, but they can be used in so many other ways throughout the day!
First, I printed the words on different colors of tagboard. I wanted each word family to have a different color, so when I created the word ring, the word families could easily be distinguished from each other.
Next, I placed all of the 150 words in piles according to word family. I then added each pile to the word ring so that the word families stayed together. You could also place each word family on its own individual ring, or mix all of the words together for more of a challenge.
Here are some ideas on how you can use the CVC word rings in the classroom!
* Use the word rings during your guided reading lessons as a warm-up. Students can read the words, write the words, or draw pictures to match the words.
* Use the rings as an assessment tool. Students read the words to you to show their mastery of cvc words.
* Let a tutor or helper use the word rings to work with individual students who need help reading cvc words.
* Use the word rings during your morning meeting as a warm-up. You can take a certain word family off of the word ring and place the words in a pocket chart. Let your students read the word family words to you.
* Let your kids create individual word rings throughout the year by adding a new word family each week. Place the word rings in their reading basket.
* Place the word rings in a learning center. Let the students create the words using play-doh. Have the students draw a picture to match the cvc word they created with play-doh.
