Day One - We began our interactive word notebook with initial (beginning) sounds and ending sounds. A printable for each activity is included in this post.
Students write the letter representing the beginning sound for each picture. Then they write the letter representing the ending sound for each picture.

Day Two: Reinforcing initial and ending sound - letter correspondences for each picture (word).
I explain to the children that the line between the initial and ending sounds represent other letters that make the word. I also explain that the lines that are shorter represent less letters.

Day Three: Using the same shapes, I focus on onset and rime: ar, art, oon, un. I explain to the children that the line in front of each word reminds them that an initial letter or letters are needed to complete each word. Children then need to cut out the rhyming pictures to determine which shape to place them under (same rime). The rhyming words are: run, cart, spoon, moon, cart, smart, bun and jar. Before cutting, review pictures with children to ensure they know what the pictures are.
Below is a completed student example. The pictures that have the same rime are placed under the correct picture - Under the picture of the star with the rime ar, the student placed the jar and the car.

Day 4: Interactive Venn Diagram to determine word patterns. This was a carpet activity. I placed two hula-hoops on the carpet forming a Venn diagram. I placed seven index cards with words above the hula-hoops. Students took turns placing cards. If a card was placed in an area that wasn't the pattern, I would say that the word doesn't fit and it would be placed back above the hula-hoops. The students did figure out the patterns. The left side consisted of words that began with the letter s. The right side consisted of words than ended with the letters un. The word in the center consisted of both characteristics: it begins with an s and ends with un.

Day 5: Using Interactive Word Notebooks, children practicde the activities from day four. Onset (s), Rime (un)
