Phonics Worksheets

These worksheets are not your average, boring worksheet. Your students will love practicing a variety of phonics skills with these highly engaging and interactive worksheets. Each worksheet was designed to add fine motor practice, use of manipulatives, and visual discrimination to help your students practice various phonics and phonemic awareness skills. Check out how I use some of these phonics worksheets to practice CVCe Words and grab a free sample activity here.

First Grade Phonics Skills covered:

1. Short Vowels and CVC Words
2. Beginning and Ending Digraphs 
3. Beginning and Ending Consonant Blends
4. CVCe Words
5. Long Vowels and Vowel Teams
6. R Controlled Vowels
7. Diphthongs
8. Soft Consonants and Silent Letters
9. 3 Letter Blends

This phonics curriculum blends phonological, phonemic awareness, and phonics skills to ensure that your students are getting a solid foundation in early reading skills. Your students will love the exciting and engaging daily phonics lessons filled with daily songs, phonemic awareness warm-ups, and simple whole group activities. Then, they will practice that phonics skill independently with one of the hands-on center activities or a variety of fine-motor skills-building phonics worksheets. They will have so much fun, they won’t even realize they are learning!

My goal with Sweet for Kindergarten is to help teachers build a strong phonics foundation for their students. I want to give YOU the tools you need to succeed and make phonics instruction simple, meaningful, AND engaging! You can save time and energy by using this research-based and effective First Grade phonics curriculum year after year!
