One of the tasks teachers face is familiarizing students with spelling patterns in order for them to transfer the generalizations to unknown words. This deck contains a set of pictures representing words ending with the /j/ sound, spelled -ge and -dge. Students will spell the words by transferring their knowledge of this spelling pattern. This activity is aligned to the Reading Foundational Skill: Phonics and Word Recognition and the Language Standard: Conventions. The cards may be used with partners or as a teacher-led activity with a group of students.
