The Road Racers activities are fast becoming one of my favorite activities!  It’s amazing how motivating a little car can be.  A month or so ago I created the activity for letters and sounds, and it was such a hit that I quickly created another to work on short vowels, word families and CVC words. When you download the Road Racers for the Alphabet, you’ll receive  35 road templates with letters following the sequence of a commonly utilized reading series. Review roads are included for each 4 and 8 letter sequence. Simply print the road templates and gather a few little dollar store race cars and you’ll have a ready-made activity for either small group instruction or for independent literacy centers.
