Introduction
Teachers know that phonics is an important part of literacy instruction.
By introducing children to phonetically spelled words and word families,
they begin to recognize familiar spelling patterns. They learn to decode
by analogy. They develop a store of instant words and learn how to use
patterns in familiar words to decode and spell hundreds of unfamiliar
words. With this approach to phonics, children become better readers.
Teachers also know that writing is the other necessary part of literacy
instruction. As children become better readers, they become better writers!
Stories for Consonant Blends & Digraphs uses a phonics-based writing
approach to build better readers and writers. The book is divided into two
major sections: short vowels and long vowels. Review pages are interspersed
within each of the two sections. Every page provides students with the
following:
Word Bank based on phonetically regular words
Story starter for students to complete
Lines on which students continue the story using words from the Word Bank
Space for student illustration
The activity pages can be used in a variety of ways:
Introduce (or review) a specific phonics skill or word familyList the individual words
on the board and discuss each word and its meaning. Next, talk with students about how they
might end the sentence frame given to start a story. Give students plenty of time to be
creative. Then have each student choose a word from the Word Bank to finish the sentence
frame and complete the story using as many words as possible from the Word Bank. Finally,
have each student draw an illustration. Students will have fun sharing their stories and
illustrations with the rest of the class!
Use as a resource for your classroom Word WallUse a thick marker to write the words
from the Word Bank on separate sheets of colored paper (large enough to be seen from
anyplace in the classroom). Cut around the outline of the letters to create a visual image of
each word. Post these colorful words in their appropriate places on your Word Wall.
Assign independently as homework.
Compile into student-made books for your classroom.
In this phonics-based writing series, use the companion bookSentences for Consonant
Blends & Digraphsto reinforce the words provided in each Word Bank.
