ACK Word Family Sorting Activities

Looking for an enjoyable, hands-on method to practice reading and identifying ACK words? These unique sorting tasks offer a captivating approach to practicing words that conclude with digraphs in a lively literacy center.

Three diverse sorting tasks are available to enhance the ability to read and recognize words that incorporate the ending digraph CK.

Sorting Tasks Involve:

• Differentiating words belonging to the ACK family from those not in the ACK family.

• Separating images associated with the ACK family from those not related to the ACK family.

• Sorting between legitimate and fabricated ACK words.

These low-preparation sorting activities are straightforward to set up. The educator will simply need to print the pages, cut out the sorting cards, and laminate them, if preferred. Laminating enables this literacy activity to be reused continuously in your literacy centers.

Usage Methods:

• Establish a file folder sorting activity

• Affix magnets to the pieces to devise a cookie tray sorting activity

• Situate them in a box for a basic sorting activity

To construct a file folder activity, position the two sorting mats on either side of a file folder. Utilize the word and picture cards to sort on the mats. You can affix hook and loop fasteners to the cards and mats, enabling the cards to stay in place once sorted. For the cookie tray sorting activity, attach magnets to the rear of each card. Position the mats adjacent to each other on the baking tray, and the magnets will ensure the cards stick to the mats. These options provide a wonderful hands-on literacy center that will keep your kindergartners and first graders engrossed in learning and practicing words in the ACK family.
