26 Letter Sound Sorting Online Worksheets for Distance Learning
Do you miss the structure and practice that worksheets give your students during distance learning? Then, I have a great resource for you! These online worksheets will help your students:
- Learn all 26 letter sounds by sorting beginning sound pictures
- Practice using fine motor skills by clicking and dragging
- Easily transition from in person to online learning
- Become more technologically savvy
This post will take you through everything you will need to know about this digital resource and the benefits of using online worksheets with your students. So if you’re ready, let’s get started!
Go Digital with these Worksheets in your In Person, Hybrid or Online Classroom
Whether your district is starting off the school year with distance learning, going hybrid, or will potentially switch to a virtual classroom platform you may be wondering how to keep some sense of structure and normalcy for your students. This is why I created a resource that can be used either digitally or in the physical classroom.
Benefits of Using these Letter Sound Worksheets during Literacy Centers
You can use these letter sound worksheets as PRINTABLES or DIGITALLY. However, I suggest you go digital so the transition of in person schooling to distance learning is easier on your students.
An easy way to go digital is to create a computer station where students can practice using these online worksheets on a device (chromebook, ipad, laptop, etc.) during literacy centers. Not only will practicing these worksheets in school give your students more confidence when they do them at home, but it will also create less work for you and their families in the long run.
These online worksheets are perfect for literacy centers because students can sort the pictures independently or in pairs, there’s little prep time to put the slide in your Google Classroom, and they can be assigned early in advance.
Benefits of Using these Letter Sound Worksheets in Google Classroom
If you follow all of my steps below, then assigning these worksheets to your students’ Google Classroom will be a BREEZE! Using this Google App along with the Online Worksheets I have made in Google Slides have so many benefits:
- You will be able to view students’ work and give timely feedback through the “Comments” section
- All of the worksheets stay in your students’ Google Classroom so…
- Your students can keep practicing in and out of the classroom. They can make any changes to the work they have completed or do the worksheet again.
- Families will know what their children are learning. They can login to their child’s account if they are curious or want to support their child’s learning at home
- You can keep track of what you have assigned. Everything you have posted to your students’ Google Classroom will show up in the “Classwork” section.
- Paperless! There is no printing involved since everything is online
Easy Google Classroom Instructions for these Digital Online Worksheets
If you are new here then you may not know that I am OBSESSED with Google Slides. You will find that all of the resources on this blog are made with Google Slides for a number of reasons…
1. You can create your own copy of my Google Slide and edit it on your own Google Drive. Unlike most editable resources, this one SAVES the changes you make. This means if you edit the Google Slide to add more directions for your students in the textbox on Monday, you can go back into this resource the next day and the added directions will still be there… YAY!
2. You can access all of my resources in your Google Slides so you never have to worry about losing or misplacing them.
3. Wherever you are (at home, in school, the library etc.) and whatever device (laptop, PC, Chromebook, Ipad, etc.) you can access Google Slides.
4. You can organize all of your files by subject or month and add my resources to whichever folder you see fit.
