Sort by vowel
Put five vowel headers on the board and give kids word cards to sort. They read each word out loud and listen for the middle sound. Sorting makes them pay attention to the vowel instead of guessing from the first letter.
Why it works: teaching letter sounds directly and in order is one of the best-supported findings in reading research (National Reading Panel, 2000).
