Sound Reference Desk Cards support Jolly Phonics

Preschool – Grade 2

Sound Reference Desk Charts

CLICK HERE to view in Print Letters

 CLICK HERE to view in Sassoon Font

These 4 Phonic Sound Reference Charts provide a visual reference to connect letters and sounds... following the same sequence as programs like Jolly Phonics. It's a comprehensive phonics resource for both staff and students! Unsure of the sound or alternate spelling? Just check out the graphic for the phonetic clue. 

The Transparent Alphabet Chart 

·       Once these sounds have been taught, the child is able to hear and say the sounds to blend (read), and segment (write) words.   The sounds have been presented in the same order as programs like Jolly Phonics.

                                                                           

Alphabetical Order … A B C…  Beginning, Middle, and Ending Sounds … (short vowel sounds)

·       Children often learn the Alphabet Song at an early age… saying the letter names... not the sounds those letters represent. Initially, the sounds are more important than the letter names.  This chart provides the alphabetical sequence of letters and the sounds they represent with a visual reference. (short vowel sounds) 

·       A beginning, middle and ending reference for each sound has been provided.  The children will notice that some sounds are not used at the end of a word. 

Long Vowel Sounds, Digraphs and Alternate Spellings

·       The long vowel sounds are digraphs!  The opaque alphabet is more complicated as seen by the alternate spellings provided for each sound.

·       Beginning, middle and ending spellings are for provided for /ch/, /sh/ and /th/. 

More Spellings

·       The English language is a very complicated language to spell because it is comprised of so many other languages.  We have a variety of additional spellings to familiar sounds.  These sounds need to be taught and learned through repetition… as the children learn to read and write the new sounds.

These Charts are an excellent resource for:

• Students
• Reading Specialists
• Title 1 Teachers
• Special Education Classrooms
• Parents

Have fun learning!

It's fun to teach 'How to Tell Time!'

Get out a set of Task Cards w/ QR Codes and use in use centers or small groups.  Use as a scoot activity or pass them around from student to student.  Allow students to use independently, and they can check their own work with the QR Codes!

Kids love to work this set of worksheets with riddles!  Have races in class or send home for extra practice.  Even your students' parents/guardians will enjoy finding the answer to the riddles!

Last, but certainly not least, pass out pre-made Bingo cards and project over 30 clocks.  Students will read the clocks and find the represented time on their cards. Bingo is always a crowd pleaser and makes a great review!

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - "Motivating students to edit their writing!"

Are your primary students interested in every part of the writing process?

When my first grade students wanted nothing to do with editing their writing, it became clear to me that they a) simply did not see the point of it, and b) were not interested! A wise colleague asked me if I showed them how hard it was to read their writing without spaces and punctuation.

It was so simple, yet I had them reading their writing to me one by one, because, of course, I couldn't read half of it myself,  AND the early-finishers were into everything. My methods resulted in mayhem. I had been trying too hard.

I wrote the equivalent of what they were handing in on the board that very day. My highest readers could not figure out what the string of letters in a row said, until I separated them with spaces and periods. And then, the little light bulbs popped on, one by one.

                  

I left strings of letters as morning messages for weeks, and we corrected them together. They GOT the spacing and punctuation issue. And when I made them a picture-based editing checklist, they were thrilled.  An added bonus? The early finishers had something to color! Phew! Visit my store and get the 5 Point Editing Checklist free!

What has been a light bulb moment in your teaching?
