Hi educators and caregivers,

Ensuring that our young readers and spellers have a strong phonics foundation is SO so important.

Of the 10 million kids that struggle to read, 95% of these struggles could be solved with proper reading instruction.

Use this resource to explicitly review phonics concepts with children.

Start with only consonants and short vowels and add in other labels as students’ phonics knowledge grows over time.

This is also a great way to assess if students are using what you’ve taught when they are decoding and encoding words. I’ve included a few examples!

Labels included:

Short vowels

Long vowels

Trigraph

Consonants

Consonant Blends

Vowel Teams

Prefix

Base Word

Suffix

Closed Syllable

Open Syllable

Diphthong

Silent e

R-controlled Vowels

Digraphs

Consonant + LE

Soft C

Soft G

Y as a Vowel

Have fun teaching,
