Giant Letter Flashcards work well with programs like Jolly Phonics!

By: Laurie Fyke @ Primarily Learning
Preschool – Grade2



Phonics fun! Use these Giant Letter Flashcards, to identify, match, or sort letters and sounds!  Create words for reading... or as the students hold the cards, segment words for spelling practice!

I found my students really enjoyed these cards as they explored sounds, and created words on their own!  What a wonderful word work resource for teachers using Jolly Phonics, Reading Specialists, Title 1 Teachers, Special Education Teachers, Classroom Teachers and Parents.

Some Activity Ideas
·           Introduce the letter(s) as the sound is introduced.
·           Hand out the letters of sounds you have taught and say, “If you have the /s/ hold it high!”
·           Hand out the letters of sounds you have taught and say, “If you have one of the sounds for jump…/j-u-m-p/ come to the front.”  Talk about putting the sounds in the order they are sounded to make the word.  Ask the class to help you keep saying /j-u-m-p/.  After the sounds are in order stand at the left side and crank your arms in a circle to make a “sound machine”.  As the hands crank the sounds get closer together and… /j-u-m-p/ becomes jump! (Hand out enough cards so that each student has a turn making a word.)
·           Use a clothesline and pegs to make words.
·           Make a line in front of your favorite letter.  Tell why you like this letter.  Graph how many people liked each letter.
·           Sort the letters.  Explain your sorting rules.
·           Say the letter sound.  Reference the letter(s) to record (print) the sound.  Check your work.

Have a great day!

Sound Reference Desk Charts

By: Laurie Fyke @ Primarily Learning
Preschool – Grade 2





These 4 Phonic Sound Reference Charts provide a visual reference to connect letters and sounds... following the same sequence as programs like Jolly Phonics. It's a comprehensive phonics resource for both staff and students! Unsure of the sound or alternate spelling? Just check out the graphic for the phonetic clue. 


1.  The Transparent Alphabet Chart 
·       Once these sounds have been taught, the child is able to hear and say the sounds to blend (read), and segment (write) words.   The sounds have been presented in the same order as programs like Jolly Phonics.
                                                                           
2.  Alphabetical Order … A B C…  Beginning, Middle, and Ending SOUNDS … (short vowel sounds)
·       Children often learn the Alphabet Song at an early age… saying the letter names... not the sounds those letters represent. Initially, the sounds are more important than the letter names.  This chart provides the alphabetical sequence of letters and the sounds they represent with a visual reference. (short vowel sounds) 
·       A beginning, middle and ending reference for each sound has been provided.  The children will notice that some sounds are not used at the end of a word. 

3.  Long Vowel Sounds, Digraphs and Alternate Spellings
·       The long vowel sounds are digraphsThe opaque alphabet is more complicated as seen by the alternate spellings provided for each sound.
·       Beginning, middle and ending spellings are for provided for /ch/, /sh/ and /th/. 

4.  More Spellings
·       The English language is a very complicated language to spell because it is comprised of so many other languages.  We have a variety of additional spellings to familiar sounds.  These sounds need to be taught and learned through repetition… as the child learns to read and write the new sounds.

These Charts are an excellent resource for:
§  Students,
§  Reading Specialists,
§  Title 1 Teachers,
§  Special Education Classes,
§  Classroom Teachers
§  and Parents.


Have fun learning!
