I received the best phonics training available in the UK. Combined with decades of teaching reading to struggling readers, you can now access that golden combination through my resources. Don’t make older low-level readers feel worse by using phonics material for five-year-olds. All of my resources are written for older students.

You get all this!

• Short vowels: a,e,i,o,u.
• Consonant digraphs: mb, kn, sh, gh, ch, ng, ph, wr, th, ck, wh
• Consonant blends: bl cl fl gl pl sl br cr dr fr gr tr pr sc sm sn sp sw st tr tw
• Long vowel sounds: ay -ai -a -ee -ea -ie -y -igh -ie -y -ow -oa -oo -ew
• R-controlled vowel sounds: ar, er, ir, ur, or, ear, air, ear, are, ire, ore
• Split Digraph sounds: a-e, e-e, i-e, o-e and u-e.

Each set contains a great selection of words containing the sounds being used, questions to check for comprehension and understanding, and fun, engaging activities to reinforce and assess learning. Instructions and answers included.

Each sound comes in a set of four pages:

• Read the words with sound underlined.
• Fill in the missing sound.
• Copy the words.
• Re-read the words before reading the passage
• Read the supported, sound-underlined passage.
• Re-read the passage without line support.
• Answer the simple questions.
• Make a note of any tricky words.
• Match up the words.
• Find the definition of the word.
• Mini word search.
• Write sentences using the words learned.
• Answers.
• Contents list and instructions for use.
• All passages are also in a separate document which can be used for dictation or working alongside students.
• My resources, cover the five “pillars” of reading, as in the Science of Reading: Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Oral Fluency, Vocabulary Development, and Comprehension.

The latest version of these worksheets has reading passages containing mixed vowel digraphs, rather than concentrating on one sound at a time. Click HERE to see that.

This is the bundle of all of this line of resources. You can see my great reviews by clicking on each product individually. The preview file shows an example of one of the sets.

"I am a tutor. I am using this resource to help my dyslexic student. My student loves to work on these worksheets. Multiple words and small stories are provided for each sound, which is really helpful to understand the sound patterns and gain confidence." laxmi G. 6th Grade.

"I am using this resource with a dyslexic student, and she is doing so well with the vocabulary and passages!" Diane A. 6th Grade.

"This was a perfect fit for intervention with my students. It was a great way to work on fluency with my students without it looking geared towards younger students." Bethany B. 7th and 8th Grade.

"I am so happy with everything in this resource! I have emerging bilingual students that are older but need help with phonics patterns and fluency. Also, I was looking for phonics practice that didn't have that primary look. My emerging bilinguals never thought they were doing primary work. Also, all the passages provided the adequate amount of practice for them to get fluent and comfortable with each pattern. I also loved that it provides a sequence for me to teach phonics is. Having this in my classroom has made all the difference with my bilingual students. I highly recommend it! " Vanessa M. 5th Grade.

"My students loved the activities on the worksheets. They had so much fun going through this packet. It was fun working with them and their enthusiasm." Natalie S. 7th Grade.
