This phonics book was made with kindergarteners and first graders in mind.

The sounds included are short vowel (cvc), long vowel (cvc silent e), common blends, and digraphs.

Use this journal as you teach different sounds.

After instructing the students have them use the journal to record words that they find while reading. This is particularly good if you use phonics readers / decodable readers. I partner my students up and have them partner read from the reader and record any words that they find at the end of each

page they are reading. This gets the students reading, saying, and discussing the words together! What better practice than that!

Short A- Easy Guided Reading Small Group Lesson Plans for 1st Grade- Print & Go

This is a lesson that is from my CVC Fluency Lessons Bundle. In this lesson you will have one detailed lesson plan, phonemic awareness, reading CVC words, orthographic mapping of CVC words, a high-frequency word, and scaffolded and regular CVC decodable passage. This is a great introduction to teaching fluency while still working on the important skills students need to become fluent readers! This resource is no prep and easy to use!

This isn't an ordinary CVC word list. This list organizes these CVC words into two groups. Words that begin with continuous sounds and words that begin with stop sounds.

You will want to use words with continuous sounds to support beginning and struggling readers.

This is a great resource to use when planning your instruction! Happy Planning! :)

Looking for an activity to help students work on decoding and encoding simultaneously? Short e Flip, Tap, Write, Build, Use resource helps students practice just that.

How? Students flip a picture card over, these are focused on a specific phonics pattern, to get their word. Next students work on tapping out the sound. They can use the Elkonin boxes or the guide dots to help track the sounds tapped. After they will build the words by writing a letter for each sound made and using letter tiles(that are provided, so no need to search or organize tiles, just print, cut, and use). Lastly, the student uses the word to create a sentence.

This activity makes for a great center, small group work, independent practice, and even homework.

Need a way to hold them accountable?

No worries, there is a recording sheet available where students can record a few of their flips. All they have to do is write the word and the sentence on the sheet. This gives you a glimpse into their understanding and insures that they are indeed working during center, small group, and independent work time.
