Less than $5 Homeschool Phonics Activities (by date, oldest first)

Use in centers, small groups, or as an early finisher activity. My kids are always begging me to play this game!

This game includes all 107 Zeno Sight Words. I teach the 107 Sight Words because they are the most narrowed-down list of the most commonly used words in texts. It is important your child can read these words quickly and accurately for success in reading! 

I broke the words up into 8 sets so that each set would have 52 cards to keep the game engaging and not too long! This also allows you to easily differentiate the game by choosing the set that has more words that your child needs to work on! Each set is color-coded so if cards get mixed up you can easily find their place!

Included:

• Go Fish Rules

• 8 sets of cards

• Each set has 52 cards

• Endless amounts of fun!

*Prep time is needed. I suggest you print these on card stock and laminate them for more durability. Printing on normal paper will work too! Print the set of cards and cut them out!

First sound fluency is the ability to identify the first sound in a word. To learn to read children need to be able to break words into their sounds! This is a great way to think about sounds in words and the letters that represent those sounds! No prep, print, and cut and paste!

This is a great way to work on first sound fluency and letter sounds!

NO PREP Letter Matching Practice! Practice recognizing upper and lowercase letters with this cut-and-paste page! Perfect for small groups or centers! Print and work on letters they need as many times as they need!

Reading and learning high-frequency words can be FUN! I use the 107 Zeno Word list because they comprise 50% of all text. No need to work on 300-plus words like other lists! These games are perfect for small-group instruction or centers! I give different tips and tricks to work on the 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!

This resource can be used as many times as you want, is engaging with a cut and paste, and has zero prep! Understanding chunks in words will help children when they are starting to learn to read! When we become more proficient readers we chunk words instead of breaking them into individual sounds! This resource is meant to be completely auditory so your child does not need to read the words! I have added the words so that you are aware of what the picture is and what the matching rhyming word would be!

The ability to break words into chunks is important to be able to read words later on! These rhyming cards are perfect for centers or small group practice! These cards give children the experience to practice the skill on their own!

Whether you are practicing phonological awareness, orthographic mapping, or tapping sounds in words when you read this mat is perfect! For some kids, phonological awareness is hard to hear and they need a concrete method in breaking sounds apart. This helped my students to break words apart when writing or practicing phonological awareness!

NO PREP! Understanding how to break words into syllables is a very important skill! When children begin to read and write multisyllabic words they need to be able to break words into syllables. This should be a completely auditory skill at this point, I put the words on the page so that you knew what the picture is! Use a manipulatives such as playdough, counting chips, a car, etc. to mark each box with the syllables in the word!

These cards are FUN and ENGAGING way to work on matching upper and lowercase letters! You can also use the pictures to talk about the sounds of the letters as well! Very simple prep, print, cut, and match!

Practice letter naming, letter formation, and first sound fluency that goes with each letter with this easy, quick, and no-prep sheet! It is important that the letters in our alphabet become automatic to gain reading abilities!

Orthographic mapping and meaning is important to learning to read and write! Children need to practice reading with accuracy and recognizing the vowels in words! If your child is working on reading CVC words this is a perfect resource! Reading and writing go hand in hand. Did you know that your brains actually remember words when we map their sounds by writing words? We don't remember words by sight but by mapping! They will get practice in reading and spelling CVC words! Print and get to work, no extra prep!

Includes:

Vowel specific words

Mixed Vowels

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!

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