Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Students will sort and spell words with the soft c spelling patterns ce, ci, and _ce (e.g., rice, city, face).
Students will sort and spell words with the soft g spelling patterns ge, gi, and dge (e.g., cage, giant, badge).
Students will distinguish soft c/g words from other spelling patterns by sound and letter combination.
Teaching tips
Laminate the 16 playdough mats and the write-the-room cards for repeated use across the school year, as the file's own directions suggest for the write-the-room set.
Post the 20 write-the-room cards around the room before handing out the recording sheet (pages 52-57).
Check the color-by-code activity (page 3) against its own printed color key rather than the file's separate answer key page, since that key addresses a different spelling pattern (long-vowel I) and does not match this activity.
Skills covered
Soft c/g spelling-pattern recognition — sorting and spelling words across ce, ci, ge, gi, and dge patterns (e.g., rice, city, cage, giant, badge).
Word-family sorting — grouping words such as ice/age or ace/dge by shared spelling pattern across four dedicated sort pages.
Multisensory word practice — tracing and stamping target words with letter stamps, and dabbing paint by sound category, across nine pages.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
How can students check their answers on the color-by-code activity (page 3)?
By comparing their coloring against the color key printed directly on that page (patterns ci_, _ice, _dge, _ace, ge, and gi); the separate solutions page elsewhere in this file is keyed to a different phonics pattern and does not match this activity.
What do the "silly story" pages ask students to do?
Write an original short story using a provided list of soft c or soft g words — five words for the soft c version, five for the soft g version.
