Making Words for the SmartBoard Freebie!
During phonics and spelling instruction my students and I spend a lot of time making words. The students use letter tiles (plastic or paper). Whenever I use one of my making words worksheets that I made to use with Reading Street, I always open up a making words file on my SmartBoard. As I’m walking around watching students spell the word, I choose one student to go and make the word on the SmartBoard. The students work as quick as they can so that I might pick them to go to the SmartBoard. 😉 The making words SmartBoard file I was using was a little drab so I whipped up this cuter version.

This 26 slide SmartBoard file makes it easier to practice making words! Use it during phonics or spelling time or even during centers/stations in your classroom. There are slides including the alphabet, word families, blends, digraphs, and endings. Letters, vowels, blends, word families, digraphs, and endings are color coded so students can see the difference when building words. Students simply drag the letters/word parts down to build a word.
I can’t wait to use this with them this week! I hope you all find it useful too!

😎 Thanks for sharing your smartboard work! I can’t wait to use it- and I am looking forward to looking through your TPT store!
This sounds great – but I couldn’t find on TPT? 🙂
Hi! I believe I have it deactivated right now. There were some issues with the fonts and SmartNotebook software. (With every update it seems the software gets more and more difficult to use with older files.) I appreciate your interest, and am considering creating a similar type file that could be used with a SMARTBoard and PowerPoint software. If that sounds like something you might like, make sure to follow my TPT store so you’ll be notified when/if it’s available. Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks! I’ve noticed the same thing with the Smart Board – unfortunately! 🙁
But thanks so much for thinking about it and I’ll be sure to follow! 🙂
I love this for my small group!! Is this still available?
Hi Juanita! It’s actually not currently available due to the constant changes with SmartNotebook software. It became too difficult to maintain compatibility between different versions.
