Phonics Lesson Plans

1. Beginning Phonics Software Game- Download and install free "Lettersounds" game. The student drags a picture to the house with the letter on it that begins the word.
2. Consonant Blends Interactive Bulletin Board- Take butcher paper and cut out a design of a bowl. Then draw lines to make it look like you were seeing 1/2 of the bowl.
3. Consonants- Create and state a series of rhyming words, including consonant blends.
4. Decoding Phonograms- The students will recognize phonograms in a variety of different words.
5. Designing a Big Book: "Sheep in a Shop"- Students will create a big book from the text of Nancy Shaw's book, Sheep in a Shop. By illustrating the story, students will develop an understanding that illustrations are a source of decoding support for emergent readers. Additional activities will develop skill in the use of the "sh" digraph.

1. FIRST AID for phonics- Focus the child's attention on a flash card with /ow/ on the front. Tell him this letter combination can have two different sounds.
2. How Does It Move? - How do objects move? Through this literature-based lesson, students review using illustrations and phonetic principles to understand words, that different things move at different speeds, and vocabulary as they explore how forms of transportation move.
3. Learning the Letter "G" Sound - This lesson will help students recognize and respond to the sound of the letter G. Students create green, glittered G's on popsicle sticks.
4. More Kindergarten Phonics- The kindergarten/pre-school child is still very much focused on themselves and their identity. I used this to great advantage a couple of years ago with the initial sounds of each child's name.
5. Morning Message - The Morning Message is a shared reading with emphasis placed on concepts of print and phonetic principles. A designated student points to words in the message as it's read, then illustrates a printed copy of the message.
6. Musical Chair Phonics- Students will be able to read words by playing muscial chairs.
7. Oh, Oh, I Think I See a Mouse, Do You See a Mouse?- By participating in this lesson, the students will discriminate long vowel sounds and short vowel sounds of the letter "O."
8. Phomenic Awareness Activity- I use this activity daily with kindergarten students. Because the activity results in the class learning which child will perform the important function of "Helper of The Day", the children are very attentive and motivated to decode the name of the lucky person.
9. Phonemic Awareness through Music- Students will respond critically to a variety of works in the arts, connecting the individual work to other works and to other aspects of human endeavor and thought.
10. Phonics And Writing- "To help the students in sounding out words and writing."
11. Phonics for Kindergarten- For high level thinking.
12. Phonics for Kindergarten- We take a letter each week. We start the week with a show and tell of objects beginning with the letter.
13. Phonics Link- The Phonics Link provides a place to build your background knowledge about phoneme awareness and phonics, to discuss professional books with other teachers and to find practical classroom lessons.
14. Phonics Page- Divide the class into groups, and then give each group a sheet of bulletin board paper with a beginning sound at the top of the paper.
15. Phonics Revision Game- I play this game with my kindergarten class as a lesson break during the day and as revision of taught sounds.
16. Reading Journals- inexpensive journals for each student
17. Reading: Phonograms- Student will learn to generate various words from phonograms and create sentences to use the words in context.
18. Reinforcing Alphabet Names/Sounds- Knowledge of the alphabet is essential to beginning reading. This activity is a way to reinforce these skills with young children in a fun way.
19. Slide into a Rhyme - Multimedia projects make learning fun for students. This lesson helps students practice phonetic analysis skills with onsets and rhymes.
20. Sound Search- This lesson is for students working on letter/sound recognition.
21. Teachers.Net Phonics for Kindergarten- I introduce a letter/sound per week. One activity is a letter museum - where children bring an object from home starting with letter/sound to be put on display.
22. Teachers.Net Phonics game for kindergarten- Use 3x5 cards to write phonics parts. (Put together, they will make words)
23. Teaching Phonograms by using the book The Sneetches- The student will read six phonograms and as a class verbally define each using the print and illustrations in the text, The Sneetches by Dr. Seuss.
24. The Blending Slide- Getting kids to blend sounds to make words is an essential step in learning to read. This activity gives them a concrete and fun way to learn this skill.
25. The letter P- Students will be able to articulate simple sentences (expressing one thought) using present progressive -ing forms. For example, "I am popping popcorn."
26. The Sounds of "EA"- In this lesson, the sounds of "ea" are dramatized in a PowerPoint presentation. Students will learn that "ea" can sound like a "long e," a "short e," a "long a," and more.
27. The Vowel Slide- Students will learn that every word must have a vowel.
28. Ugly Bug/Snuggly Bug - Students demonstrate an understanding of rhyming words by creating buggy pictures and a sentence containing rhyming words.
29. Vowel/Phonogram Match- This is a great idea for reviewing phonograms within words and utilizing a motivating holiday theme.
30. What? You want me to read AND enjoy it? - After spending six to nine years teaching the student how to read, students often see reading as torture in the middle grades.
31. Words that begin with "Q"- "The students will create sentences with "Q" words."
