 Day 2 Phonics Practice (Pick 2-3 activities)

Sound Practice- Pick 5-8 sounds based on Vowel Tents- Discriminate short vowel
phonics patterns taught (OG sounds. Pick sounds then pattern to practice.
grapheme/phoneme chart). Teacher states Teacher states sound, student repeats that
sound, student repeats the sound, student sound, student identifies vowel that makes
identifies letter(s) that make sound, write sound, holds up appropriate vowel tent and
LOWERCASE letter(s) for that sound in says (o says /o/).
sand/rice/bean or white board. Ex: c says /c/. Sound Vowel that makes
that sound
Sound Letters that make
the sound 1. Vowel only (V)
Example: c, k, ck Go will go through all 5
/c/ through all vowel sounds
5 vowels
2. Vowel Consonant (VC)
ex: i it

3. Consonant Vowel Consonant

(CVC)
ex: a cat
a
e
Making Words- Manipulate letters in words i
based on phonics pattern taught. Teacher o
states word, student repeats word and u
builds word with magnetic letters.

Beginning Word Coding- Accurately spell words using phonics

set 1 set 2 set 3 patterns. Teacher states word and students
write words using visual cues for support.

--/--- = blend ~ = one sound (ex:

diagraph) * = silent e

Word Coding Symbol

Guided writing (Dictated sentence) level D-E: 2 sentences; E-F: 3 sentences; G-I: 4-5 sentences

 Phonics Coding

__= 2 sounds OR ___= 3 sounds (Blends ex: st or str)

~= one sound made by more than one letter

(ex: diagraph)

* = missing sound (ex: silent e)

Examples:

basic cvc word =

blends =

diagraph =

silent e =

digraph & blends mixed =
