Word Catchers 

 

Based on the cootie catcher / fortune teller / whirlybird, these remind me of my playground days many years ago and are a fun way to practice reading and spelling.

 

  • Print, cut out and fold up to make the Word Catcher.
  • FIrst the pupil chooses a picture then counts the sounds in the word to give first number which is the number of movements opening and closing the catcher.
  • Next the pupil chooses a number and makes that number of movements.
  • Then the pupil chooses a number again and opens out word catcher. If there’s a word underneath the number then the pupil has to read it. If there’s a picture underneath the number then the pupil has to spell it (by writing it down).
