Students are systematically introduced to phonics patterns with "Listen for the Sounds" activities and create their own deck of 3-D Flash Cards. Students and instructors link each phonic spelling pattern to its corresponding sound, keyword, and visual. Each spelling and handwriting activity in this book mirrors the phonic patterns students are learning to build their relationships with letters. This helps students and instructors distinguish similar and different sounds and letters and anchors phonics patterns to their corresponding sounds. This book teaches three blending techniques that help new readers blend the letter sounds to read words. You'll also learn how other engaging multisensory activities such as searching for and highlighting phonics patterns, a spelling phonic mapping technique, and more. This manual includes phonics stories that build character, self-esteem, confidence, and interest in reading. The phonics storybooks with illustrations and 3-D visual aids are optional and sold separately.
