Then, the class will break into pair to play Letters and
Sounds checkers.
Each pair will receive one checkerboard and pieces. The
object of the game is that each time a piece is placed on
a word they have to say the word and use it in a
sentence.
Students will provide examples of short vowel words for
each vowel for the lesson conclusion.
