Children read a sentence with a missing word, decide which spelling fits best, and clip their answer with a peg. Then they flip the card to check the correct solution. This self-correcting, hands-on activity is ideal for independent practice while reinforcing phonics and spelling patterns.

What’s Included

• 20 double-sided DGE vs GE phonics clip cards

• Clear examples of the spelling rule (dge is usually used after a short vowel in one-syllable words)

• Self-checking design for independent work

• Perfect for Montessori shelf work, literacy centers, or homeschool phonics practice
