CentersStation start

Which two words start with the same sound?Students open a short phonological awareness Deck from a class code.

Keep the Deck short, add a predictable first Tile, and make the final Tile a quick check for understanding.Open path

Small GroupsTeacher opens

Which two words start with the same sound?Start with one guided phonological awareness Tile and name the strategy students should try.

Use the first few Tiles as guided practice, then switch to quick independent responses while you listen for misconceptions.Open path

InterventionNarrow target

Which two words start with the same sound?Keep only one phonological awareness target so the Deck feels reachable.

Narrow the skill, reduce answer choices when needed, and copy the Deck for the next level of support or extension.Open path
