Scope & Sequence

The sequence is built with word usage in mind. The most common used letters, digraphs, diphthongs, and rules moving to silent letters and uncommon phonograms at the end of the sequence. Each lesson builds upon previously taught sounds and rules.

Teachers Checklist

This allows you to keep a running record of the letters and rules your student can encode/write and decode/read. This checklist can follow your student through the grades allowing each teacher to instantly see the areas needing more support and building upon previously taught knowledge.

3 Lesson Plans

The lesson plans are written and ready to use, you just add the sound or rule you’re introducing. There are three lesson plans. A visual discovery, and auditory discovery, and an introduction. Each lesson can be printed and used straight away without any added prep.

26 Alphabet Lessons and Materials

The alphabet is in three sections. The first nine letters are followed by letter tiles for word building, phonetic words, nonsense words, phrases and sentences using the letters introduced. The second section uses the eighteen letters introduced in word building and reading activities. The third section uses the whole alphabet to build and read larger words and sentences.

Auditory Discovery and Introduced Lesson Plans

The lesson plans are written and ready to use, you just add the sound you’re introducing. The auditory discovery encourages the students to listen for the sound being repeated, and the introduced lesson gives you the opportunity to tell your students the sound and move forward with the activities.

5 Lessons for Every Letter of the Alphabet

The sounds are introduced with movements and actions to kinesthetically support each sound. The lesson is scripted so you can read directly from the book. There is a list of suggested picture story books for each letter. There are three activity sheets with printing, say it-make it- write it, and a creative practise page.
