The Periodic Table of Phonics acts as the student’s master list that will start every phonics lesson before instruction.
Simplify instruction. Color coded phonics categorization makes it easy to know what sounds to teach together.
Road Map and Destination! Don’t try to drive your kids to reading without showing them where they are going. The Periodic Table is a map. And everyone gets around better with a map!
Print this set of phonics charts to help students practice their phonics sounds.
Student:
“A in ant says (short a sound),
E in egg says “say short e sound),”
