These locks can be used for many different purposes and in a variety of ways.

Why use Literacy Locks?

Research supports how important it is for beginning readers to practice letters, sounds, and decoding. Intentional, frequent, and focused opportunities to practice over an extended time (deliberate practice) facilitates automaticity with these skills. Since research also shows that learners are more motivated to do an activity that is fun and novel, Literacy Locks is an activity that meets that criteria. Literacy Locks combine the motivation of a hands-on, engaging activity and deliberate practice with the goal of helping students gain automaticity in letter names, letter sounds, and decoding words and to do it in a way that is both fun and motivational.

How to Use:

Students choose a lock, identify the letter, beginning sound, CVC word, CVCe or long vowel word, blend, diagraph, or r-controlled vowel of the picture, and find the matching letter, sound, or word on a key. They can then write the letter, sound, or word on a lock on the recording sheet (optional).
