Phonics Lessons / Resources

Oh, cute.  Please upload the rest when you have time. 

Both awesome and fun. Thank you!  I will have to use them for my phonics class

Hi

It helps to review your favorite "Alphabet song" and then head into the games.

Same instructions as Word Families Pt 1.

Have fun and happy teaching.

My coteacher just taught me a simple phonics chant (no video): 

Big A, little a, eh-eh-eh,
Apple, ant, eh-eh-eh

Big B, little b, buh-buh-buh,
Bear, bat, buh-buh-buh

Big C, little c, kuh-kuh-kuh,
Cow, coin, kuh-kuh-kuh.

(etc.) 

There's a cute handout that goes with it, but I'd have to scan it in to share.  I'll post it if I get the chance.  It's also endlessly modifiable, since you can use whatever words you prefer.  The fourth-graders seem to really like it! 


Dog, duck
Egg, elephant
Fish, fork
Goat, ghost
Hat, house
Ink, Indian
Jet, jack-o-lantern
King, kite
Lion, lemon
Monkey, monster
Net, notebook
Octopus, orange
Pink, pajamas
Queen, question
Rabbit, ring
Sun, Santa
Tiger, tree
Umbrella, upside-down
Violin, voice
Watch, water
Xylophone, xylitol
Yesterday, yes
Zoo, zero

How does this game work?

here are some alphabet and phonics games.

alien and robot game- a-z
racecar game a-j (i think there are some issues with animation on this one)
random bomb game k-r
simpson donut game r-z

also similar translations from english alphabet to korean alphabet attached

hope you enjoy and hope this helps the kids enjoy learning phonics.

My school had the other native teacher and I come up with a phonics assessment for all of our grades. The tests are administered over the morning broadcasts, but I see no reason why this couldn't be used in any class with access to ppt. There are four types of questions. The other teacher included some multiple choice questions for her sixth graders (choose the correct spelling). As the level of phonics in our school is rather low and for our goal of trying to find the worst students for the after school classes, I deliberately kept the test on the easier side. This could be, and has been, adapted for grades 3-6.

Looks really good! Is it possible you could add in the page you use as your test paper and possibly an answer list too? Is #6 face?

sounds like Dr. Seuss ABCs, there's a PPT book in the thread found in my 'signature'

I found this yesterday while web snooping. All lyrics are sung to the tune of "Skip to My Lou." You may want to revamp some of the words but most of them work pretty well when I tried. Haven't inflicted it on my class yet but it gives you music to go with the "chant" as well as easy tongue twisters.

Where did you find this? I guess the music is on the website, likewise the tongue twisters.

I found it on this site: http://www.k-3teacherresources.com/teaching_the_alphabet.html

You can get the music off YouTube. Just search for "Skip to My Lou" and look for the karoke version. 

Here's some tongue twisters. Sorry, they're pretty short because my kids are low level. You can find longer ones using google:

A big black bug bit the big black bear
Four furious friends fought for the phone
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear, Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair, Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't very fuzzy, was he?
Seven slick slimy snails slowly sliding south
A pack of pesky pixies
Smelly shoes and stinky socks
Bad money, mad bunny
Eddie eats eighty eggs
A fat-free fruit float
Toy boat, toy boat, toy boat
Greek grapes.(3x)
Toy phone.(3x)
Quick kiss.(3x)
Three free throws.(3x)
Kitten in the kitchen.
The silly snake slinks
Zebras zigzag in the zoo

Sorry I was really tired when I put this up last night. Here's the test with correct numbers, test sheet, and answer key.

Thanks! This looks great! It'll be really useful to look at with my 5th grade in particular at one school as they don't seem to have overly high understanding of English.

Good work!

EFL playhouse has some pretty cool activities.

So this is a phonics game that I came up with that the kids love. Basically I took Korean phrases and saying and wrote it out phonetically in English and the kids have to read what it says...example Annonghasayo ----> . 안영하세요

First I play them simple phonics song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saF3-f0XWAY).

 Then I write a "y" on the board and make them tell me the sound. then a "e" (name and sound), so it now spells "ye" then "p, o, y.o" to make "yepoyo" they class reads yepoyo (meaning pretty in korean) the students laugh and I move onto the powerpoint. The first part is just practice with some special cases like the ch sound which is the exact same sound as the korean "ㅊ".  Make sure you practice the English sound because some of the korean sounds don't translate exactly. I use "ㄱ"  as both an example of the english "g" and "k" sound but I make sure they understand the difference. Same with the L and R sound (which i use my name to illustate. Holly not Harry).

Now onto the game. I  tell the students that we are playing a guessing game, korean word English writing and point to the previous yeopoyo written on the board to remind them. I make one student from each group to stand up and tell them first hand up that answers correctly gets the point. I show them the word (Pabo) and let them read. If they look confused just point to the word and say korean word, english writing. Eventually I might hear a tentative pabo? Which i then remind students to raise their hand. First correct answer gets their group the point (at this point they've caught on) , I make the whole class read the board then ask for the English translation. I have a new student stand up from their group and move on to the next word. 

I've played this with all the grades I've taught (4th, 5th and 6th) I have a slightly easier version for the 4th graders (less words, shorter sentences) and harder one for 6th. Its Korean so the kids love trying to figure out what it means and it really brings home the idea that the Alphabet represent sounds and the sounds can make korean words just as well as English words. Its challenging for the students who speak English well as well because they still have to figure out what it means and it's english used in a way the don't normally see.  Make sure though that you only let the student who is standing read because if someone in their group tells the answer it defeats the purpose of the game. If i hear that they cheated (cunning in korean) i simply say no cheating and don't let that team answer.

P.S. It might be a little hard if you don't know what the Korean means but I wrote out a translation for most. And if you can't read korean you can at least read the phonetics. However words like Daebak don't really have a english translation (though it kind of means awesome or cool but korean kids use it mostly sarcastically) If you say Daebak in a really deadpan voice and draw it out (daeeeeeeeeeebak) the kids will more then likely crack up, especially the older ones.

Hope this explanation wasn't too confusing or long winded, this is one of my kids favorite games and it's never failed to engage almost the whole class cause even when it's not their turn they still try to figure out what it means.

ㄹ =R?????

ㄸ = TH?????????

바 = Pa????????????

Noooooooooo. Sorry, I hate to criticise someone who went through so much effort, but please DO NOT teach kids to transliterate into hangeul. Please, please, please. This is precisely what I've always tried to get KETs not to do. I teach my kids the complete opposte - ㄹ is neither R nor L. ㅅ is neither S nor SH. There is no TH, V or F sound in Korean. Because there aren't.

If you want a fun phonics game please try Phonics Monsters by bogglesworld. And please cut the Hangeul out all together.

WOW! Looks AWESOME!

Thanks for the game! I have to teach phonics to middle school students, and usually the lesson plans on here are just too childish. However, this game could totally be adapted to their age. It will also put them at ease because they don't need to know English words yet. It's very intimidating and a bit shameful for kids as old as mine, when they don't even know how to read English. This might just help them!

As for the issue of transliteration, while I agree that ALWAYS transliterating leads to Konglish and bad pronunciation, they do need to know how to transliterate, at least for their names and names of places in Korea. This is just an exercise to practice the phonetic sounds, not the core of this teacher's philosophy. Personally, I don't really think it's such a big deal...

Something similar: Korean and English symbols combined.
