An Inspiration from a New Blogging Buddy and a Smartboard Literacy Workstation!

 Digraphs Sort Workstation

I have a found a new blogging buddy and an inspiration! Valerie from Grow Up Learning has a new blog with lots of freebies, one being a Smartboard activity created with flash! She inspired me to create an activity using adobe flash! This smartboard activity has all the digraphs and will make a great literacy workstation! So thank you Valerie;  everyone head over to her blog and welcome her to a wonderful sharing community!

Digraphs Literacy Workstations

response sheets

For several weeks I have uploaded digraph songs and videos. I designed workstations for each digraph. I designed them so that you can take any two or three to sort. There are also response sheets for all the digraphs. The clipart is from Microsoft Office. I hope you will find these useful, my kindergarteners have enjoyed them. I have the Lakeshore set of blends and digraphs, the pictures match those  manipulatives. In case you don't have them, each set has picture cards. I have my students sort the manipulatives and then use the word cards to record two digraphs of their choice. I will be adding Smartboard activites soon.

Last but not Least ! The Wh Shake Up Pokey

I hope your children will enjoy singing the Shake Up Pokey songs as much as I've enjoyed recording them! But more importantly, I hope they are a big help in learning the digraphs.

Here's another little digraph movie teaching the "th" sound. I also made cards that you can laminate and use while singing the song. I am including the "th" sound song.

I am trying my hand at making short videos to teach digraphs. My children love to sing the songs, but I wanted a little more animation. If you like it or have any suggestions, please leave a comment.
