After students add the correct digraphs, use cards for:

Phonics expansion:

- Identify rhyming words within a field of the words

- Identify words with given vowel sounds. For example, ask student s to find all the cards that contain the short /a/ sound, etc.

Language expansion:

- Use words in a sentence verbally or in writing

- Select a number of cards for students to create short story

- Find semantic relationships among words (ex. shell-beach: You can find a shell at the beach; sheep-shark-duck-whale-dolphin: Animals or more specifically shark-duck-whale-dolphin: Animals that swim, etc. etc.)

- Object/word identification: Give students a verbal clue, open-ended sentence, or riddle and have them find the correct word (ex. All of the letters we know make up our "alphabet," What do I do with a lollipop? "lick," The opposite of front is "back," I have a face - There are numbers on my face - You wear me on your wrist - You use me to tell time, What am I? "watch," etc. etc.

- Have students given one another the clues for an extra challenge and to increase student participation.

Articulation:

- Great material for speech sound practice, especially if you are working on /sh/ and /ch/ (all word positions), or /k/ medial and final!
