PhonicsBee

This is a fun and creative way to blend words. First, have students write each phoneme in a box. Cut out the characters and slide them across the road as they sound out the words. This is great for young readers, individually or in a small group. Keep it fresh by printing out one for each holiday season. I do this in two variations. One where I write out the word, they copy, and we figure it out together. In the other variation, I give students the word, and they map it themselves, then we blend

Kids love games. My students beg for this one all the time, so I had to upload it for you to! This is a spin-off of UNO, except that it's phonics-focused as BUZZ! The extra cards keep it interesting, and instead of a number in the corner, they can either match the color or syllable type, which helps kids become more fluent with syllable types. Don't forget to print pages 2-17, front and back, on cardstock, then laminate. I hope you love this as much as my intervention students do!

Word Mapping is a powerful tool that helps children break down and decode words by understanding syllables, word parts, and spelling patterns. Students learn to recognize concepts like open and closed syllables while building stronger reading and spelling skills. Designed to support both teachers and parents, this resource provides a clear scaffold for how words are structured and what students should look for as they decode unfamiliar words with confidence.
