Use these Word Chains during small group or whole group instruction to strengthen decoding and encoding skills.

The word lists guide you and your students as they build and change words using magnetic letters or by writing them. This hands-on practice encourages students to manipulate sounds, recognize patterns, and blend phonemes into words.

Word chains are a simple, effective way to build phonemic awareness, reading (decoding), and spelling (encoding) skills in Kindergarten through Second Grade.
