Instructions Chatterboxes (or cootie catchers/fortune tellers) are a fantastic way for your students to practice reading, writing and spelling words that have a particular phonics focus. This pack includes chatterboxes for 7 different sets of words / sounds. Each set includes words that have the sound focus. The sets include:
Each set of chatterboxes also includes a word overview sheet. This sheet provides all of the words used in each chatterbox. The following pages explain how to assemble the chatterboxes as well as how you can use them in your class and with your students.

Instructions How to use
This is how I use the chatterboxes with my students, but feel free to create your own ways that suit the needs of your students. 1. Have students work with a partner. One student
(student 1) operates the chatterbox. 2. The other student (student 2) picks one of the pictures.
3. Student 1 opens and closes the chatterbox while saying the sounds. For example, if the picture is of a tooth, the student would say: /t/ /oo/ /th/, so that student would open/close the chatterbox 3 times.
4. Student 2 picks one of the words.
5. Again Student 1 opens/closes the chatterbox for the number of sounds in the word.
6. Student 2 picks another word.
7. This time Student 1 opens the flap to reveal a spelling for the sound focus. For example, the spelling could be ‘oo’.
8. Student 2 then needs to write a word that includes this spelling of the sound. The student can use some of the words from the chatterbox, or think of their own. For example, the student could write: ‘hoop’.
9. Students alternate taking turns operating the chatterboxes.
