Emoji word card sentence builders (a writing manipulative)

These word cards are a sentence building activity. Students can move the cards to create sentences that they can then transfer into writing.

Each word card includes a familiar emoji from the emoji lists used all over the world. Students previously exposed to technology will already have background knowledge on these images, and will be able to apply those images to both support them in learning new vocabulary, as well as support visual learners learning how to read and write.

The cards are organized under five subheadings: nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and other. The 'other' section includes suffixes, articles and prepositions.

Blank cards are included in the file to allow teachers to create additional cards not included in the set.
