Phonics YuGiOh game with Maple Leaf Learning Phonics vocabulary.

Long i material  (_i_e, e.g. kite)

I teach a book called Go, go phonics 3 and use the vocab out of the book. But hopefully this will be useful for anybody teaching long i.

PPT
Game cards (for playing 'snatch card game' - Ss play in pairs - put their hands on their heads -  teacher says a word and students must grad the right picture - they can only use one hand)
Hidden picture game
Story time - story with pictures and fill in the blanks activity

Is there anyway that this particular thread can be included in the permanent links at the beginning of the board? I'd wager it sees enough action (eg Grade 1&2,3,4,5,6, After School, Kindergarten, etc)

A powerpoint I made to learn/practice the "Z" sound.  Zero Zebras at the Zoo.  Being Jewish I also wanted to emphasize what a Jew was and that it is NOT a zoo.

Here are some worksheets I adapted for kindergarten. I taught the alphabet and covered each letter over 2 lessons.
First lesson introduce key words and letter sound, sing a song.
Second lesson review words with a game, complete a worksheet and sing a song.

I'm using Letterland CDROM for my homeschool children. Here the youtube link

This could work as a game as well

I'm not sure you refer the Letterland Phonic or not  This CDROM cover the letter sound, stories and mactching letter sound/games, also handwriting song ( teach how to write aphabets ). letterland series are my based to teach Phonics. It's cover from letter sound, workbook and blending ( such as,the word 'Cat' which is break down into three 'c-a-t'. Words can be divided into 2 basic groups: regular phonic words (cat) and irregular (such as 'there". Regular words can sound out and Irregular words have to be learned ( it's call sight word or Dolch word ). I posted my Dolch Words list too :)

Usborne Phonic Readers is effective ways to teach phonic reading too. Another good phonic books are Oxford Songbird. Great book for beginer reader.

A fun and simple way to learn the phonics sounds.
There are a few Phonics songs available on the internet. Phonics song 2 / Phonics song 3 ... all good ^^
This is my favorite, simple fun and the kids love to sing along.

shark
ship
shirt

quick
sick

The Alphablocks series by BBC is AMAZING for the classroom. My kids adore them.
Teaches the basic alphabet sounds and has other episodes that focus on other sounds. I use this for my 3rd grade who are just learning their alphabet.

If you google "letter _____ song" there are raps for each letter.  Also, I use animoto.com to show pictures all starting with the same letter and ask students to name what picture they see.  After naming them, I ask student what do all the words have in common.  They will notice that all the words begin with the same letter.  Great for phonics =)

Hey,

At the inter national school I worked at we adapted the phonics system 'Letters & Sounds'. This is a UK system for kindergarten-3rd grade however it can be adapted for all ages and used for ESL phonics. I adapted these to work with older students so please see some of the materials attached to use.
1) Phonics Program: quick run down on when to introduce what phonemes (sounds)
2) Phonics Phonemes and Graphemes: break down on what phonemes fall under which phase.
3) Phase 2 flash cards (large): compliments of sparklebox.com
4) Phase 3 flash cards (large): compliments of sparklebox.com
5) 100 High Frequency Cards: compliments of sparklebox.com
6) tricky words: compliments of sparklebox.com

I typically test the students to see where along the phases they are to decide where to start. I then introduce the sounds to the students. Great ways to practice these are to have students write the letters on individual white boards after you give them the sound.
Have them practice dissecting as well as blending. Dissecting can be done by giving students a CVC word (constenant/vowel/constenant) and have them break it down and write each individual letter that corresponds.
Blending can be done by the opposite, show them CVC words and have the students practice reading them. I've also attached some blending cards (button cards)
Doing games and worksheets based off these phonemes can be pretty easy. Just type into google and some great ideas to use will pop up.
*note: you can also just laminate white A4 papers and use those as home made white boards.
