Using the cards in the classroom:

I place the word cards in a pocket chart I have in my writing center. I only put the word card set in pocket chart that matches the theme we are doing currently. If you want to have all sets of word cards available all year, I would recommend making little picture dictionaries by hooking them together with binder rings or binding combs.

My students can take the word cards out of the pocket chart and carry them to the table to copy onto their paper. They slip them back into the pockets when they’re finished.

Children could also spell the words with magnetic letters or letter tiles.

More ideas for using these cards:

Use them on a word wall.
Hook them together on a binder ring to make a picture dictionary.
Use the blank set to write words in other languages or other writing styles (e.g. D’Nealian). Or use them for modeled writing activities.
