A Note from the Author:
“When I originally began writing the Foundational Phonics curriculum, games were not slated to be a part of the program. It was a chance encounter with a former student who asked me if I still let my students play these games that helped me to realize what a powerful tool they truly are. Not only do these games reinforce phonics learning in a fun way, but they also give students an opportunity to practice social skills such as taking turns, resolving conflicts, and being good sports even when they lose.”
So don’t miss out on this game-changing opportunity to transform your students’ reading journey. Grab your bundle today and watch your students enjoy practicing their reading and phonics skills!
These games were taken from the nine Foundational Phonics units, but they can be used independently of the program.
