I use little notecard flip books! It’s so easy to quickly grab a book and read words when we are in a time crunch!

Oh my! So many free resources– including phonics and sight word readers– created by a teacher and available FOR FREE! I print at least a book per week! I have found numerous sets of Bob Books and Starfall Readers that have become old friends for us this year! Check out the book section the next time you’re picking up toilet tissue!Īnother favorite and often-used resource for phonics readers for us is Hubbard’s Cupboard. Yes, that’s Sam’s, as in the wholesale club. One of my favorite resources for phonics readers is Sam’s. My big kids like this too… spelling practice. It’s so easy to move one letter and change “bit” to “fit” and then “fit” to “fix” etc. It is a great way to practice working with words while taking away the added difficulty of writing. This is hands-on fun! We build words with letter tiles on our “mats” (pieces of construction paper) and use our magnets on cookie sheets.

My kinders think of this as a fun matching game! We don’t always use the pocket chart… the floor works well, too! 🙂ģ. I use a pre-made set of word family cards and pictures but plan to add some of my own cards and pictures using simple clip art.

Explode the Code has been great practice in writing as well as following directions. I couldn’t be happier with either one! I use them as a guide for introducing word families. We have been using Explode the Code Book 1 and Alpha-Phonics to aid in learning phonics this school year.

I think mastering both elements are important steps on the path to becoming a good reader! For now, each week, we work on basic C-V-C short vowel words and 2 or 3 new sight words. 😉įor ease, I’ll divide this post into 2 categories: PHONICS and SIGHT WORDS. However, as a homeschooling mom of 4 with a baby on the way, I don’t always get to the fun stuff! Here I’ve included some of the most practical activities we do, but we don’t even get to these every day or even every week. As a former First Grade classroom teacher, I have a lots of fun ideas for teaching my kinders to read.
