Teacher Preparation:

1. Download and test the CVC spinner on a WINDOWs PC or Laptop to see if it will work in your classroom environment. NB This is NOT a Mac application.

Q. Why do this?
A. To be sure to be sure :-) Great lessons can go south at an alarming rate when school technology does something ‘weird’. It is better to be safe than sorry :)

2. Project the spinner onto the Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) and press all the buttons to become familiar with their function.

Button 1 - Move this row on one place down.
Button 2 - Move this spinner to a random letter
Button 3 - Move this spinner on one place up.
Button 4 - Move both spinners randomly.

Student Preparation:

- Using a pencil and ruler divide a piece of scratch paper into two columns. Write ‘Junk’ at the top of one column and ‘Gem’ at the top of the other.
- Students write the numbers 1 to 10 down the side of the paper.
- One student chooses the ‘go for’ / ‘have dibs on’ the ‘junk words’ and one for the ‘real words’.

How to Play - The LOUD FUN Way Play

1. Students pair up & sit side by side facing the IWB.
2. Students share one ruled piece of scratch paper and have a pencil each.
3. The teacher, or class leader, presses the Random button (do a screen shot with annotations) and the spinners spin.
4. When the spinner stops, the teacher reads the word out aloud and the students YELL OUT ‘Junk’ (for a nonsense word) or ‘Gem’ (for a real word).
5. If the word is a real word the student who is going for ‘real words’ writes the word in the ‘real’ column and vice versa.

How to Win:

First player to write 10 words in their column is the winner.

The Quiet - Not So Much Fun Way to Play ;-)

- Exactly the same way as above only the students read the word quietly to their partner and record the words.

Be Sure to Vary The Phonics Focus:

1. Continuously press the random button to for a larger variety of words.
2. Choose a word ending and click through the initial sounds
3. Choose an initial sound and click through the final sound
