These spelling posters include phoneme-grapheme correspondences for 39 vowel and consonant sounds (see below for a detailed list of the sounds included) This bundle includes: Vowel Sounds Order of Frequency Posters Consonant Sounds Order of Frequency Posters These posters answer the following questions: What are the different ways to spell each vowel and consonant sound in English? What sound-symbol correspondences are more frequent than others? Where in a base does each grapheme (letter or letter pattern) most frequently appear? What spelling patterns will my students or child encounter the most in text? It’s important to teach students that there is almost always more than one way to spell the same sound in English! These posters include spelling patterns for each pronunciation, organized by frequency. When creating these posters, I considered these factors: The different ways to spell each sound The most common phoneme-grapheme correspondences How the position of a sound in a word affects its spelling An awareness of spelling frequencies can help us plan our reading and spelling instruction as well as build and support students’ understanding of the most common ways to spell each vowel and consonant sound in English. Each triangle includes different ways to spell each sound in the order of frequency. In some cases, patterns used less than 2% of the time are not included. Vowel Sounds Include: 19 vowel sound order of frequency triangles with the most commonly taught spelling patterns in the order of frequency. 3 printing options (colored (bright), colored (basic), & blackline) Instructional slides (digital posters) Interactive slides (build each triangle together as a class) Student flip book (students review and apply their understanding of order of frequency to build their own frequency triangles) All digital components include both a POWERPOINT AND Google Slides™ version. Consonant Sounds Include: 20 consonant sound order of frequency triangles with the most commonly taught spelling patterns in the order of frequency. 3 printing options (colored (bright), colored (basic), & blackline) Instructional slides (digital posters) in PowerPoint & Google Slides Interactive slides (build each triangle together as a class) Student flip book (students review and apply their understanding of order of frequency to build their own frequency triangles) All digital components include both a POWERPOINT AND Google Slides™ version. How to Use: Display the classroom posters at a center or designated place in the classroom. Use the posters as a reading and spelling support in the classroom all year long. Use the instructional slides to review the most common spelling patterns for each sound. Perfect for whole group and small group instruction. Use the interactive instructional slides as a whole group activity or in small group for additional practice and application. Use the student flipbook during guided or independent practice. This acts a perfect review of previously taught skills and patterns.
