LANGUAGE ARTS – “Scooping Words With Two Closed Syllables”

Amanda Trump

Scooping a word is the same as dividing the word into syllables.

Syllables can be divided by saying them orally or by using a pencil and paper. If we orally divide a word into syllables, we usually clap the word out. For example, if we orally divided the syllables of polish, we would clap out ‘pol’ and ‘ish,’ and that would be two claps. If we divided the syllables on paper, we would place a slash between the ‘l’ and ‘i’ in the word ‘pol/ish.’

So rather that placing a slash, there is another way to show the number of syllables in a word, and that is to scoop the syllables. This is how that would look: p o l i s h. This way not dividing the word with a slash avoids the look of a misplaced letter in the word, and it also avoids the idea of students thinking the word has only one syllable since there is just one slash. With the idea of scooping with the finger or with a pencil, students can feel and see the scoops which in turn matches the number of syllables. 

This packet contains 64 task cards that allow students to practice scooping words with two closed syllables.

Simply print and cut along the guidelines. One idea is to print on card stock or on colored paper. Laminate and use them again and again and keep them in a baggie. Another option is to hole-punch a corner of each card and put them all on a ring.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

This “Cheat Sheet” was designed to help students while writing in English. This at a glance 2 page sheet is colorful and has an easy to find layout to help students remember certain important things while they write.

I allow my students to use this in class when writing a test. This is not a grammar lesson, but it will remind students about the grammar they’ve learned in the past.

Some of the reminders included:

HEY GUYS! LOOK! It’s a free sample for my awesome Blank Board Games.

So what is a Blank Board Game?

Here’s my theory on things.

You don’t need a completely new product every time you teach a new unit. What you need is something flexible, something you can tailor to your specific and current learning outcomes.

Designed for use as file-folder games, each set contains:
1. Well, obviously they come with a game board – two letter-sized images you print, trim, and attach to the inside of a file folder. Most games will come with a variation of game board colors, which will be indicated on the preview.

2. Multiple variations of printable cards for game play: some are completely blank, some have characters or images relating to the board, and some have game directions like “lose a turn.” There are also variations of border colors for cards, so you can easily differentiate sets if you create multiple games or levels for a game.

3. A printable front cover for your file folder if you want to label them like this – this is also great for leaving the top open and keeping an envelope of cards inside.

The Spring Blank Board Game set comes with:
a cover image
a game board
3 pages of blank playing cards (one is editable on the computer, while in the for-purchase sets, all the playing cards can be edited.)
