File folder activities are great for classroom literacy centers. They are typically used to reinforce skills so they are ideal for independent work. For these activities, I’ve included a word sorting activity, a word writing activity and then a fill-in-the-black activity on the back of the file folder. There’s a little bit of assembly involved, but it’ll be well worth it as, if laminated, the folders can be used over and over again. Here’s a few pictures:
Here’s the activity for Consonant + le:
…and here’s a picture for the oi/oy file folder activity. You’ll notice that some file folder activities have 2- , 3- and 4- areas for sorting and writing. I’ve included step-by-step assembly directions for each format.
The File Folder Phonics activities are available for a variety of phonics skills. You can find the activities in my online Teachers Pay Teachers store or on the Make, Take and Teach website:
