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) from the word cards.
Teaching tips
Print eight card pages in either color or black-and-white for a 48-card set, then cut and laminate if desired.
Introduce the pictures and their names before matching each to a word. Bat and fan each have two picture meanings.
Have students blend a word and check it with the matching picture; color alone does not make the activity self-checking.
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").
CVC blending practice — students read and blend short-a words such as cat, fan, and map printed on the word cards.
