Special Patterns Puzzles
Special Patterns – More Puzzle Fun!
A customer whose students enjoyed the syllable puzzles asked for more. So here they are! Once you’ve introduced a new concept and you think your student is ready for some practice, get out the corresponding puzzle. Again, student X’s each square that has an example of the new concept, getting lots of practice with what it is and isn’t. You observe for any areas of confusion. Once the first X is made, students should look for an adjoining square rather than searching line by line. Fun for all ages.
This new set of 6 puzzles features practice identifying:
Digraphs sh, ch, th, wh, ck, ng, and ph (with the advent of cell phones ph is much more commonly recognized)
