I’m really loving my tabletop pocket chart that I picked up at Walmart. It’s perfect for small group instruction. Unfortunately, you can only find these during the months of July and August when school supplies are available- bummer. After searching the web, I was able to find a similar tabletop pocket chart. It’s a bit more expensive than my Walmart find, but it will work just as well. If you weren’t able to grab one at Walmart this year, you might want to check out this option:
So, I’ve been creating activities for my pocket chart. I’m slowly, but surely working my way up the phonics ladder. So far we have Pocket Chart Pictures for Early Literacy and Pocket Chart Pictures for Short Vowels/Consonant-Vowel Consonants. I just recently finished Pocket Chart Pictures for Word Families, Blends and Digraphs , R-Controlled Vowels and Vowel Teams. Each volume is jam-packed with colorful pictures ideal for sorting activities.
When you download the Pocket Chart Pictures for Word Families you’ll receive 69 colorful pictures designed to teach 16 different word families. You’ll also receive 92 word family word cards.
The PCP Word Families activity is available through my Teachers Pay Teachers online store.
Pretty soon we’ll be introducing blends and digraphs to our little first graders. The Pocket Chart Pictures Blends and Digraphs will certainly come in handy. When you download this file, you’ll receive 65 picture cards with common consonant digraphs (sh, ch, th, wh) and 85 pictures cards with consonant blends.
That’s 150 pictures! You’ll need a way to organize them all. I thought color-coding may be helpful. For this volume, I coded all the pictures of the digraphs blue and the blends red. I was lucky enough to pick up these colored snack containers at the Dollar Tree. They are the perfect size! And they MATCH!

After mastering blends and digraphs, we move right onto r-controlled vowels and vowel teams. This Pocket Chart Picture volume includes 129 colorful pictures. Again, I color-coded the pictures for the sake of organization.
