Wait! Are you looking for phonics activities that are aligned to best practice? This phonics poems resource is part of a year-long phonics & SOR mega bundle! Click here to see it all! 

Each phonics poem includes a two-page spread of activities to do over a week. These activities help students practice phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, and even writing! The poems and daily activities are NO PREP to help simplify your workload.

Want students to build reading fluency?

Repeatedly reading poems is supported by research to boost fluency! Reading poems aloud helps with students’ expression and phrasing too! Students will be motivated and engaged with the simple format, kid-friendly clipart, and fun and quirky poems. These poems are just long enough to have a storyline, yet not too long to overwhelm or get bored when rereading.

Need a fun way to practice and apply phonics skills?

Each kid-friendly poem is based on a phonics skill, with multiple words in the poem for students to read in context. Following a typical phonics scope and sequence, students will be able to decode the majority of words in the poem. This resource helps take phonics instruction to the next level with students applying it to text!

Looking for a comprehensive literacy activity?

The activities that accompany each phonics poem help students connect crucial literacy skills together to work toward becoming a proficient reader! Students reread the poem each day to practice phonics and build reading fluency. Then they complete the short, yet meaningful activities - 

• Day 1: phonemic awareness
• Day 2: vocabulary and oral language
• Day 3: phonics
• Day 4: reading comprehension
• Day 5: writing
• There are variations of these activities to keep students interested and engaged, while also benefiting from the structure of a routine.

Classroom teachers are already loving this resource!

“I have really enjoyed using this with some of my first graders. I pulled a few to try this out and they were so excited this past week when it was their time for our group meeting! I was able to listen in as they even grabbed their journals and practiced reading it on their own with no assistance or prompting from me and then went to share it with others! This was such a proud moment of independence!

"I cannot wait to begin using this with all of my groups as review, acceleration, and for remediation - the opportunities are endless. Thank you so much!" - Sharon
