I wanted to create a phonics sorting activity that was paperless.  So I created the mat backgrounds that don’t move and then found developmental sequence for speech sounds for early, mid and late emerging speech sounds.  I created the blank slides first and then populated the slides with 4 -6 pictures of each comparing sound.  Each slide compares 2 speech sounds.  I have my students say the picture name out loud and try to hear that first sound and then move that picture under the correct letter. I created this activity to do with my bookbuddies but as I discovered my students wanted to do it outside of the bookbuddies so I would assign a few slides on my Google classroom each tech/center time. You can find this activity in my TPT store at the following link: It Begins with Phonic Mats Enjoy! Kemble :-)

I find syllables are very tricky to teach the Grade Primaries.  I used to teach syllables by clapping them out but I know like to teach syllables by having my students place their hand under their chin and then say the word.  Each time their mouth goes down, it is counted as one syllable.  I created a few worksheets for my students to practice counting syllables and then I created some Google slides.  I assigned those slides to our Google classroom and the kids grabbed the assignment and continued their syllable work.  It actually reinforced the worksheets and I discovered this group of students really took to putting their hand under their chins.
