Open & Closed Syllable Word Mapping Worksheets
This free set of handouts will get you started with Open & Closed syllables and word mapping. The first page is a handout that will allow students to practice their open and closed syllable identification. The following pages are words to map together or independently that follow the vccv and vcv syllable division rules. Plenty of room is given on each page to allow for learners to map the words. Don't forget to swoop under blends and digraphs! :) If you like this free resource, please consider

Syllable Division Rule Poster
Use this poster to help teach the syllable division rules for your learners. Things to note: -V for vowel and C for consonant sound -There will never be more than 2 consonant sounds on a bridge (between the vowels). If you find more than 2, it will be a digraph, blend, or diphthong that needs to be glued together (swoop a line underneath them to keep those sounds together as 1 consonant sound).

Sound Boxes (Elkonin Boxes)
Sound Boxes (aka Elkonin boxes) are used to build phonological awareness skills by having learners segment spoken words into their individual sounds (phonemes). There are multiple versions and sizes for you to choose from included in this pdf. There are even ones with additional boxes at the bottom for learners to write the graphemes, once they master the phoneme isolation tasks. Print and laminate these sound boxes to help your students with phonological awareness and phonics. These are great

Teaching style
My passion is guiding learners in their literacy journey. I have spent years diving into the Science of Reading, Dyslexia instruction, and how to teach reading with strong evidenced-based strategies. I have used this knowledge to create a multi-year, comprehensive reading course that ranges from Pre-K-3rd grade (and beyond for those needing reading intervention).
I have taught many subjects and have created a variety of resources, especially for online learning. I am adding new products all the time, so keep checking back.
