A Vowel Switch Freebie to Celebrate My First Week of Blogging

So in my first week of blogging I feel like I have learned a lot from watching tutorials and experimenting with different tools.  I still have so much to learn.  I have also learned that I am totally hooked on clip art.  I dunno why I love it I just do:)  I don't know any other bloggers yet so I am still a bit curious about blogging etiquette.  I feel a little like the new kid at school.  Is there such a thing as a blogger mixer? :) To celebrate my first week of blogging I am posting a freebie.  This is a visual aid/student reference sheet for the vowel switch decoding strategy.  I made it based on a resource from the Florida Center For Reading Research.  A year or so ago I found the format for making a poster to cue students to use this strategy.  Below is a picture of the poster from my classroom.  When I introduced it to my students last year they liked it.  I found they used it a lot as a tool to help them remember short vowel sounds, especially when writing.  I have made this small sheet to use in their reading folders as one of the strategies we review during guided reading lessons.
