Short A Activity: CVC, CVCC and CCVCC Word Sort Game with Picture Pieces

This short a activity gives students a hands on way to read and sort CVC, CVCC, and CCVCC words with matching picture pieces. It works like a self correcting task box: prep it once and students practice on their own, with something to do with their hands instead of another worksheet.
