![]() In addition to activity sheets and games, each set also includes a directions/tracking sheet for students. These are arranged sequentially and work from simple sound/spelling correspondences (such as CVC words) to more complex patterns (such as one sound but many spellings) so that you can have appropriate phonics practice as you move from skill to skill throughout the year. It’s broken down into 10 sets of homework. Having all the games and activity sheets you need pays off even more! That’s why I created Fun Phonics Homework, a bundle of 100 weeks worth of phonics practice. Having a plan for phonics practice pays off. Other ideas to work into your phonics practice include: And the mix of skill practice is accomplished through a mix of activities. They get real-life practice using a word from their list.

Remember you must read each word correctly to be able to move your counter forward. Play the game with a friend on another day. Use the words from your word list to make your own roll and read game. Try and use the word during the week in your speaking and writing. Read the word of the week and complete each section of the template. Remember to reread your sentences to check that they make sense and for correct punctuation. Choose 3 words and write a sentence for each one. Read the words and underline the sounds in them. Did you spot all of the missing punctuation? There are 5 missing full stops and 7 missing capital letters. Add in the missing capital letters and full stops. Circle the sound in the second word that changed to make the new word. Pick 6 words from your word list and complete the TMZ. Here’s a sample plan for one week: Tap it, map it, zap it (TMZ) Each week’s plan should include a variety of activities that help students practice specific sounds or skills that you are currently working on while also building on and providing reinforcement for sounds and skills already mastered. You assign the plan for students to complete during their time in a literacy station or at home (or a mix of both). One way to assure students get the phonics practice they need is to create a phonics practice plan. Homework is really helpful for kids to practice phonics and consolidate skills. ![]() Practice can take place in the whole class learning session, individual work, activities or games done in small group work directed by a teacher or done on their own in stations - and it happens at home through carefully thought out phonics practice homework. And there’s one thing we know: students need plenty of phonics practice. Blending, segmentation, phoneme manipulation, fluency, vocabulary, punctuation … there are so many skills to cover in phonics.
