Phonics First!: Ready-to-Use Phonics Worksheets for the Primary Grades, Student Workbook

by Wilma H. Miller

Overview

This book of activities gives children practice in learning the letter sounds of the alphabet. The activities start with the consonant letters and their sounds, then progress to vowel sounds, consonant blends, the hard and soft sounds of certain letters, digraphs, diphthongs, and other aspects of phonics.

Many of the worksheets engage children in creating new words and using them in context. The words are age-appropriate and the reading selections have been created using the Spache Readability Formula.

These activities can be used in any reading program with children of all ability levels. They provide the extra practice that many children need to master beginning reading skills.
