$5 - $10 Homeschool Phonics Activities (by date, oldest first)

To get a pattern to STICK in a new readers brain we need to read AND spell with a word and provide context. These self-correcting picture cards are perfect to achieve that goal!

Within this product your child will be exposed to beginning and end blends with short vowels. You can have the child read the card and flip it over to see if the picture matches the word or you can use the spelling mats to have the child look at the picture, say the word, and spell the word. When they are done they can flip the card over to check their spelling.

This packet is perfect to get your 4-year-old ready for Kindergarten! I created this resource to align with the Early Learning Core Standards for 4-year-olds. This packet is FUN and ENGAGING to get your kids excited about learning! The best part about this packet is that there IS NO PREP! Just print and it is ready to go! I have planned out each day for you, these practice pages will last 7 weeks!

The packet supports the following skills: nursery rhymes, rhyming pages, first-sound fluency, letter names and sounds, counting, numbers, number sense, and shapes.

This is perfect to work on over the summer to help get your child ready for Kindergarten or to work on skills they may need in Kindergarten that have not yet mastered!

Reading and letters can be FUN! These games are perfect for small-group instruction or centers! I give different tips and tricks to work on each skill! I would use these as a Friday fun day during small-groups and my students loved them! These games don't have any prep! Print and play! I would suggest laminating or sticking in a sheet protector to keep them nice for a longer period of time!

Includes:

All 26 letters of the alphabet

Letter names and sounds

Reading words with word families

Reading words with short vowels (a, e, i, o, u)

Reading 1-25 Zeno High-Frequency Words

Roll and Read

Board Games

Bingo

Handwriting improves a student's ability to recall information, make connections between different concepts, and synthesize information in new ways!

My handwriting book includes:

• Mnemonic keywords and pictures (this will help with memory of letter name and sound as they practice the writing of the letter)
• Letter formation sayings and pictures for where to start and end your letters
• Sentence Practice
• Binding edge so that you can place it in folders with sheet protectors to use with dry erase markers, staple or coil bind together to use fun pens, glitter crayons, colored pencils, markers, etc!

When a student can produce the letters correctly and quickly, they will use less brain power when writing words and sentences!

Let's be honest, phonemic awareness can be SO boring for our students! Whenever we are working on it they want to use the words in sentences or want to see a picture of what that word means! Now they have a picture to connect to the word!

These cards are so much fun my students beg me to work with them! I let them choose their manipulative; whether it is play-dough to tap, legos, chips, or blocks! This also gives those kiddos struggling with blending and segmenting a concrete method to gain those skills!

The cards are broken into each vowel so that you can easily practice phonemic awareness with the vowel you are working on. You can also mix them up so they can practice the skill for each vowel!

-Includes

-vowels; ar,or,er,ur,ir

-R-controlled vowel words with a picture

-Sound boxes on the front

-The word and amount of sounds on the back for self-correction!

Why not work on letters while coloring? My students love a color-by-code! 

Ways to use this resource:

• Name the letters as you color
• Identify name and sound of letters as you color
• Name letters before you color
• Identify name and sound of letters before you color

It is important for a child to understand what a syllable IS and how to break words apart into syllables! When children begin to read and write multisyllabic words it will be vital they understand how to break the word into their syllables! This is a great hands-on and engaging way to work on syllables! Pick a manipulative that your child wants to use and get to work! Use them in centers or during small group!

There is no prep needed! Print and get to work! The alphabet needs to be automatic for our little learners to learn to read! They need to know its name, sound, and formation, and that these letters are represented in words in stories! These letter practice pages are great to meet the needs listed above! My mnemonic device at the top will give the child a great way to remember their letters!
