Phonics & Word Skills: Lessons and Worksheets (K–1)

Every topic has a lesson sheet (a “Learn it” rule, picture words to say together and a guided activity) and a practice worksheet (two or three activities with an answer key), each at two levels: Kindergarten uses big pictures, tracing and circling; Grade 1 adds word searches, sorting, unscrambling and writing.

  2. Do the “Try it” activity side by side.
  3. A day later, give the practice worksheet. Check it with the answer key.
  4. Read a free book in the Pagine library and hunt for words with the same sound.
