Students have fun decorating Christmas trees and practicing beginning sounds (letter sounds) with this interactive, NO PREP digital resource. Prefer Google Classroom? Click here for the Google Slides version. This self-checking set of digital task cards helps your students master and become fluent in beginning sounds (letter sounds) as well as visual discrimination skills and letter recognition which are important reading foundational skills. Students choose the right topper for each tree by looking at the pictures on the ornaments and choosing the star topper that has the pictures' beginning sound. Students receive immediate feedback as soon as they hit the Submit button. If an incorrect Christmas tree topper has been placed on the tree it is immediately removed and an "oops" sound is played. Students are then able to try again. As soon as the correct topper is placed on the Christmas tree a correct "ding" is played and students are automatically taken to the next card in the deck (cards play in random order). Please see the preview file for a playable sample. This resource is perfect for keeping young students engaged during the weeks preceding or after the holidays! Students drag and drop each star Christmas tree topper to place it on the tree. They can also listen to audio directions on each card that say the names of the pictures on each ornament as well as directions preventing any confusion about pictures' names. These features make the cards interactive and engaging for young students! This deck includes 26 cards (one for each letter of the alphabet) that play in random order. Helps students master and develop fluency in common core standards RF.K.1.D, .RF.K.3.A. "Students loved this activity and asked to do it again and again. Love the holiday theme!" - Jennifer S.
