How to Teach Every Key Phonics Concept
Teaching phonics is an essential part of any literacy program, and as educators, it's critical to have a strong understanding of the science of reading and phonics instruction. However, teaching every key phonics concept can be a challenging task, especially when working with students who require additional support. Unfortunately, your school may not be providing all the materials or lesson plans you need to effectively teach phonics. I’m linking all my phonics instruction blog posts below so you can easily learn how to teach each one, from CVC words to silent letters.
CVC Words
Digraphs
Consonant Blends
Ending Blends
CVCe Words
R-Controlled Vowels
Vowel Teams
Vowel Diphthongs
Trigraphs
Silent Letters
Soft C & G
Syllable Types
-ED & -ING
Phonics can seem daunting if it’s new to you, but it’s so satisfying to see students truly learning how to read (and not just memorizing words or guessing) when you progress systematically with your phonics instruction.
