Learning to read is such a fun and special time: it's a valuable skill, and sparking an early love of reading can make it become a lifelong passion. In order to do so, it is so important early-on to scaffold our students' learning to help them bridge one concept to the next so that they don't feel overwhelmed. How can our little ones get excited and learn effectively if we introduce phonics with no particular order? In my experience, the following steps worked the best in helping my students to read. With each step, and with enough practice, students are able to transition to the next level seamlessly. After introducing the beginning letter sounds, we follow this order: 1. CVC 2. CVCe 3. CVCC 4. Beginning Blends 5. Digraphs 6. R-Controlled Words 7. Diphthongs On top of class activities, games, and center work, it is important for students to practice and review the knowledge they acquired. With that in mind, I created these No-Prep Phonics Printables that follow the listed order. For students to recognize the words and practice effectively, the aforementioned packet does not include the knowledge necessary for the latter packet. For example, looking at the list above, there will be no digraphs included in the Beginning Blends packet, and no diphthongs in the Digraphs packet. Here are the examples of the packets included in the bundle. :) You can get all seven packets in a bundle here. The bundle will provide your students with plenty of opportunities to practice and learn a wide range of sounds. All of the packets have a consistent layout, which makes it easy for students to complete the tasks on their own whilst focusing on each sound. No extra prepping is necessary, other than to print and give them to your students. How can I use these printables? 1. whole group instruction review 2. small group work 3. early finishers tub 4. morning work 5. literacy center 6. homework 7. independent work when you have a sub See what others have to say about these resources! :) You can click the link below to get the free no-prep phonics printables! I'd love to hear about how you teach phonics in your classrom or at home with your kids!
