Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Match a short-a picture card to its corresponding printed word card.
Blend and read short-a CVC words (e.g., rat, cap, mad, wax) from the word cards.
Teaching tips
Cut and laminate the cards as instructed so the set is reusable across multiple small groups.
Start with the picture-to-picture matching before introducing the word cards, then progress to picture-to-word matching.
Use the black-and-white version for students to color while practicing the words, and the color version for a self-checking center.
Skills covered
Short-a phonemic matching — students pair a picture card with its written short-a word card (e.g., matching a picture of a bag to the word "bag").
