Practice Foundational Phonics & Core Literacy Skills
Students explore key phonetic patterns while strengthening phonemic awareness, decoding, whole-word reading, and comprehension through structured, skill-building activities.
Interactive, Game-Based Learning
Blend and segment words, spin the nonsense-word “monster wheel”, play a fun game with castles and knights, and build pictures to match sentences—all through engaging games and hands-on fun.
Reinforces Four Pillars of Early Literacy
This activity pack targets multiple learning modes to boost literacy across four core areas—keeping learners focused, motivated, and progressing through interactive play.
Build Phonics Skills Step by Step
Learn a foundational phonetic pattern Learn to stretch and blend the individual sounds in words Apply what they have learned to sound out “nonsense” words (words that are not real and cannot be guessed) Practice reading plenty of words that reinforce the concept of the lesson Read whole sentences and demonstrate their understanding of what they’ve read
Reinforce Learning with Repetition & Play
Students who experience challenges in learning to read, such as students with dyslexia, need repeated practice to master new phonetic patterns. Use the words from the activity pack to make your own extension activities, such as having students write the words on a whiteboard, making up silly sentences with the words, or creating a wordsearch.
