Hello Friends, Phonics has become one of the most talked-about topics in education, especially with the growing focus on the Science of Reading. As teachers, we know that reading instruction includes many important components, including phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Phonics plays a critical role by helping students understand the relationship between letters and sounds so they can decode words independently. To support your instruction, I’ve created a FREE resource that provides a simple overview of the progression of phonics skills commonly taught in elementary classrooms. If you have ever wondered what order you should teach phonics, here it is! This one-page chart outlines phonics skills from beginning letter sounds through advanced decoding skills, making it a helpful reference for classroom teachers, interventionists, literacy coaches, and homeschool families. 🎁 Download the FREE chart here: Phonics Poster FREE Whether you’re planning instruction, supporting struggling readers, or simply looking for a quick reference guide, I hope this resource helps make phonics instruction a little easier. If you enjoy classroom resources, teaching ideas, and literacy tools, I’d love for you to follow my TPT store.

Hi Friends, Today I'm kicking off a brand-new Science of Reading series on The Education Connection podcast! We're starting with one of the most important foundational reading skills: phonemic awareness. 🔊Simply put, phonemic awareness is the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate sounds in spoken words. Before students can connect sounds to letters, they need to be able to hear those sounds. A few examples of phonemic awareness activities include: • Blending: What word do these sounds...
