Secret Stories- cvc-e instructional tools!

📸 Repost

“Thanks to magical Mommy E™️, cvc-e learning has never been more engaging! All moms are ✨magical✨and when your mommy tells you to "be a superhero and say your name,” you can bet those vowels listen!

To teach, practice, and reinforce reading and writing cvc-e words in small group and whole group, I utilize posters w/a few sample words embedded (w/the Secret Stories phonics stickers) resources. These are worth every penny!

I love that I can share practical examples of how theses phonics secrets appear in words that students encounter regularly.
