Phonics and Phonemic Awareness for Young Learners
Few topics related to language arts have been debated as frequently and furiously as the issue of phonics. While I don't believe that phonics is a one-size-fits-all solution to reading, I do believe that phonemic awareness is an important tool in the decoding of written English. Following are some activities and resources designed to make both the teaching and learning of phonics more fun for you and your students.
Alphabet Chants
an adaptable rythmic approach to associating letters and sounds
The Alphabet Song
alphabet; alphabetical order
The Vowel Song
vowel recognition; short and long vowel discrimination
Alpha Toss

Alphabet Big Book

Alphabet "I Spy"
initial consonant sounds; final consonant sounds; rhyming words
Alphabet Taboo

Clap-n-Count
listening skills; syllable segmentation
Create-A-Letter

The Letter Hunt

Letters in the Sand
