phonemic awareness

HI
I show my kids random letters and see if they can tell me the sound the letter makes. If your letter makes more than one sound like in vowels I ask them can this letter make more than one sound? I then do the reverse.
I say the sound and have them write the letter that makes that sound. I also do digraphs and blends. You'll learn a lot doing this.

I also do a short spelling test. I have the words I use at school and for the life of me can't think of them off the top of my head but it starts simple and gets more complex so that you can see who needs some challenging and who needs the basics.

I know it has I, am, hat and friend on it...but I can't remember the others....sorry but if you have a spelling program in your 1st grade you could pick 20 words from throughout the book and use them.
