CUT, PASTE AND SPELL

PICTURE SORTING
BOOK 3
Compare and Contrast Short Vowels
with Blends and Digraphs

COPYRIGHT 2013 ANNA SANDERS

Licensed for one classroom use unless multiple
licenses are purchased.
 Sequence of Instruction
This book follows a sequence of short vowel introduction based moderately on the suggested
sequence of mixed vowel instruction in Words Their Way (Bear, Invernizzi, Templeton, &
Johnston, 2011). However, all vowel combinations are provided so the activities can easily be
used in any sequence that corresponds to your instruction. Each combination has 3 different
sorts. The pictures in this book have been chosen because they contain digraphs and blends.
This is the third book in this series. The first book focuses on word families and the second
book focuses on CVC pattern words, following the same vowel instruction sequence.

About Me:
This is my 14th year as a teacher. I have taught almost every grade in
elementary school (1st through 5th grade) and have been a literacy
facilitator. I am a reading specialist and word study enthusiast. I studied
under Shane Templeton and Donald Bear at the University of Nevada, Reno.

Teachers are the most amazing people on the planet. I am convinced that
they work harder than any other profession. I hope that my products save
you time so that you can enjoy life with your own family and friends.
