Self-Checking Cards
How flip cards work:
The front side with the arrow has an image and word that is missing two letters for example the R-controlled letter options are listed below. er, ir, ur. Students choose the correct missing letters and flip the card over. The answer is on the back and is revealed when the card is flipped in the direction of the arrow. Easily flipped in over when inserted into the flip chute.
Cards can be used with the chute or placed on a ring to create a flip game.
Optional hole punch through the top arrow and create a Smart Spelling Ring or set-up in a 3-ring binder for a spelling game center.
*** Students really like this game-style spelling test. It is a fun way to learn and practice spelling patterns and phonics.
These will fit in a Smart Chute Game, 2 printing sizes: standard 8.5×11 & A4 options included in Zipfile.
