Description
These self-checking Boom Cards give students engaging practice building and writing words with short **e**, open and closed syllables, and closed-syllable exceptions such as *put* and *push*. Each card includes a kid-friendly picture clue to help students identify the word and understand its meaning, along with audio that clearly says the word. Students look at the picture, listen to and repeat the word, move the letters into the correct order, and then write the completed word on the included black-and-white recording sheet. Perfect for literacy centers, independent practice, small groups, intervention, or review. Immediate feedback helps students strengthen phoneme segmentation, letter-sound correspondence, blending, encoding, spelling, handwriting, and vocabulary skills. Created to use alongside **1st Grade HMH Structured Literacy, Module 1, Week 2, Lesson 7**. This resource is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by HMH.
