Want to practice cvc words in a fun way? Make a magic table!
I have a magic table in my room! I bet you do too! You can write on it with a “magic” special marker (dry erase + regular old table).
This is the most focused I have seen them in the past few weeks! Amazing what a small change can accomplish!
Every student went in the right direction as they practiced forming this difficult letter to work on handwriting.
Then we practiced stretching and writing words! I pulled a card from from my Cvc Words Practice Games and stretched the word. The students had to write the letters that went with the sounds. The we practiced successive blending to check the words. We talked about it if was a real or make believe word. One student had to use the word in a sentence, so we also developed oral language skills! Win! Win!
Lysol All Purpose Cleaner took it right off BECAUSE this is the only table they are allowed to write n with markers…on purpose!
They love it!?! So Cool!

Awesome! I am going to try this tomorrow! Thanks for sharing! My firsties will love this.
NICE!! I bet your students love it. That's a great idea. Thanks.
Our kids love writing directly on the tables with dry erase markers. But since it leaves a little shadow, our custodians aren't as much of a fan. 🙂
WOW! Have you tried lysol wipes? I usually just use white board cleaner and away goes every mark!
What a fabulous idea! I love it!
Great article!
Isn't it awesome when things grab them?
My kids love writing all over the table too! Makes learning so much fun!
