Phonics Posters

These vibrant posters are not only visually appealing but also serve as powerful teaching aids. Display them prominently in your classroom to reinforce letter-sound relationships and phoneme awareness. Use them during whole-group instruction, small group activities, and literacy centers to support your students’ phonics learning journey.

For example, during whole-group instruction, you can gather your students around and use the posters as a visual guide to introduce new letter-sound relationships. During small group activities, you can divide your students into groups and challenge them to identify words that match specific phonics patterns shown on the posters. Also, your literacy centers are the perfect place to unleash the power of these posters! Create a dedicated phonics corner with the posters displayed for your students to explore and refer to during independent practice. They can use the posters as a handy reference when reading or writing words that follow certain phonics rules.

Phoneme Word Lists and Segment and Blend Task Cards

These lists provide students with a wide range of words that share a common number of phonemes and are sorted by phonics rules, helping them recognize sound patterns and develop fluency. Incorporate the phoneme word lists into your daily phonics lessons along with the segment and blend task cards. The blend and segment task cards allow students to practice breaking words apart into individual sounds and blending them back together. They strengthen students’ ability to decode unfamiliar words and improve reading fluency.

Word Mapping Task Cards

The word mapping task cards strengthen a students ability to connect the sounds and letters of words. By engaging with the task cards, they practice visualizing and internalizing the relationships between letters and sounds, enhancing their reading and spelling skills. To use these task cards, students say the word, tap the sounds they hear in the word, map the letters that create those sounds, and blend and read the word. Integrate the word mapping task cards into your phonics lessons to promote active learning and build your students’ phonics skills.

The Science of Reading Starter Toolkit is great for fostering reading success in your classroom. With its colorful phonics posters, phoneme word lists, segment and blend task cards, and word mapping task cards, you have an array of essential resources at your disposal. By incorporating these evidence-based practices into your instruction, you’ll empower your students to become confident readers.
