Description: Looking for a fun way to practice spelling short vowel words with consonant blends? This winter-themed Drag and Spell activity mimics the magnetic tiles used in many Orton-Gillingham programs, and it's a great way to build phonics knowledge and spelling vowel teams. Using Elkonin boxes and letter tiles with one sound per letter also builds phonemic awareness and orthographic mapping, which leads to better reading fluency! How it Works: Students see a picture and click to hear the word pronounced. Then they drag letter tiles into boxes to spell the word. Good to Know: • There are 35 cards • All words contain closed syllables (short vowels) and range from 3-5 phonemes. They have beginning or ending consonant blends (or both) and a few have digraphs as well. If your students aren't ready for these you can simply hide these cards.
