Phonics for Kindergarten and First Grade
By Science and STEAM Team
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!
