Phonemic Awareness and Phonics in Just 5 Minutes a Day




Whether you teach half day or full day kindergarten, finding a way to fit it all in is a daily struggle. For me, the challenge is creating a balanced literacy approach for thirty-two little ones in a three hour and twenty minute daily schedule. Every minute of  the day is precious. 

Over the years, I have developed numerous tools to help me streamline my day. My Daily Phonemic Awareness and Phonics Skills PowerPoints are one tool I use to help my students master the high expectations of the Common Core Standards. I use these daily as a phonemic awareness warm-up and a review of kindergarten phonics skills. Studies have found that young children benefit the most from short instructional sessions in phonemic awareness. These weekly PowerPoints are 5 - 7 mins long and packed with interactive fun!

There are four Mega Packs which cover an entire year of phonemic awareness and phonics skills. 


      

      



The skills covered follow the Common Core State Standards and get progressively more difficult each week. The power points are fully automated and interactive. My kids love them! I know yours will too. 

Here are a few of the fabulous feedback comments I have received...

A Buyer said:
"My students love these PowerPoints. The cheered when I said we will do it again tomorrow! I love when something so simple is so effective and enjoyed. Thanks!"

Thanh N. said:
"These are just AMAZING!!! Found out about them at another school when I went to observe a teacher :-) and she told me it's a must have for my Kinder! My students LOVE the Daily Phonemic Awareness PPT. They would get on to me when we don't do it!!! Thank you!"
Carolyn H. said:
"I recommend your daily practice to every kindergarten and first grade teacher I meet in professional development. I was introduced to your daily phonemic awareness in a class on the Five Components of Reading. Great tool!"

FREEBIES!

I am offering two FREEBIE sample PowerPoints of Weeks #1 and #9 so you can see the progression of skills covered. Enjoy!
