Materials:

  • Sock

Overview
The children will each get a sock to fill as they read and write words ending in –ock: such as block, rock, lock, and clock.

Literacy Activities
Roll the block and fill the sock

  • Divide the children into small groups to play the Fill a Sock game.
  • Have the children take turns rolling the block, and have them read the word on the block and find the corresponding picture to put in their sock.
  • As the children drop the correct picture into the sock, they will say, “I rolled the block and got a _ock for my sock!”
  • If the block lands on the side that says, “Tick-tock! You lost a __ck!” the player must take a picture out of his or her sock and say, “I lost the _ock in my sock.”
  • Repeat several times.
  • When time is up, have the children count the –ock pictures in their socks. The person with the most pictures is the winner.

More Practice
Identify, blend, and manipulate sounds

  • With word blending cards, have the children make new words by changing either of the consonants or the vowel:
    • sock flock; clock block; lock → rock
    • sock sack; clock cluck; lock lick
    • lock lot; flock floss; rock rod

Read and write target words

  • Pull pictures out of the sock. Write each word on the board. Read the words together.
  • Have each child write a list of the –ock words that were in his or her sock. Allow the children to read their lists to each other.
