RF.2.3.B is part of the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts. These 2 games practice it. Standards vary by state, so check with your kid’s teacher for the exact match.
Word Mix-Up: A sentence has a blank and a pile of scrambled letter blocks. Kids unscramble the word that finishes it. Words follow phonics patterns in order: short vowels, sh, ch, th, wh and ck, blends, silent e and vowel teams.
Vowel Team Sort: At a little post office, each envelope has a word with its vowel team missing. Kids post it in the right mailbox: ai or ay, ee or ea, oa or ow, ow or ou, then a mix of all of them.
