Each word follows a consistent six-slide routine. Students meet the word, count its individual sounds, map phonemes to graphemes, locate the word among other decodable words, read it in sentences, and complete a final review. This predictable format encourages active participation while reinforcing essential phonics skills.
The words follow the Guided Phonics + Beyond scope and sequence, gradually introducing more complex sound-spelling patterns while spiraling previously taught skills. The slides are intentionally static, allowing teachers to guide instruction while students actively respond using personal whiteboards.
What's Included:
Six-slide decodable word instructional routine
Phoneme counting and word mapping activities
Decodable word identification practice
Sentence reading and cumulative review
PDF and Google Slides access
Ideas for Use:
Incorporate these slides into whole-group phonics instruction, small-group lessons, intervention, or daily decoding review. Students can use personal whiteboards to segment sounds, record graphemes, and practice blending words as they work through each slide.
Skills covered include:
Phoneme segmentation, phoneme-grapheme correspondence, sound-to-spelling mapping, blending, decoding, word recognition, and reading decodable words in connected text.
These slides supplement explicit, systematic phonics instruction and can be used alongside Guided Phonics + Beyond or another phonics curriculum.
