More about this resource...

Phonics that fits in your pocket! The Digraphs and Double Consonants Pocket-Sized Phonics Routines were developed to give you a quick, on-the-go solution to your phonics lessons. These quick digraphs phonics routines can be done completely orally in just minutes each day, or used for longer whole and small groups guided phonics lessons.

Science of Reading Aligned: These lessons align 100% with my Science of Reading Guided Curriculum. There is one pocket-sized routine for each lesson. However, they can be used regardless of your phonics or small group curriculum.

What is included?

• 22 Pocket-Sized phonics routine cards – one for each lesson in the Science of Reading Guided Curriculum Unit 4

How do the Pocket-Sized Phonics Routines work?

Just print on cardstock or laminate, chop, and place on a ring! These lessons can be done 100% orally or with a written component. Instructions for both are included.

What skills do the Pocket-Sized Phonics Routines include? Each set focuses on one main phonics skill, although you will see some smaller skills such as multisyllable words mixed in. Each lesson includes:

• Phonological and/or phonemic awareness
• Skill reviews
• Blending
• Segmenting or decoding
• Encoding

Take a closer look at the routines:

Digraphs: This set will cover digaphs sh, ch, th, wh, and ck as well as double consonants ff, ss, ll, zz. These lessons do build on each other, so past digraphs will be reviewed and used for oral sound sorts.

Digraph lessons include:

• Phonemic awareness – students will identify the vowel sounds within short vowel words.
• Sound isolation – students will identify whether a word contains the target sound, or students will complete an oral sound sort.
• Blending – you will say three sounds. Students will blend them together to say a word.
• Segmenting or decoding – If done orally, you will say a word and students will segment it. If done written, you will write a word and students will decode it.
• Encoding – If done orally, you will say a word and students will skywrite it. If done written, you will say a word and students will write it.

How can I used the Pocket-Sized Phonics Routines?

⭐Whole group or small group phonics lessons: Use these quick phonics routines when you are short on time. These short routines pack a powerful punch and fit in all necessary components of a phonics lesson. You can add in a follow up worksheet or decodable text for practice after if you’d like.

⭐On the go routines: Take these cards on the go! You can easily fit in a short phonics review lesson while waiting in line, waiting for an assemble to start, and more!

⭐Phonics warm-ups: You can use these routines as a phonics warm-up each day.

These pocket-sized routines will be even more powerful when followed up by or used to review after each lesson in the Science of Reading Guided Curriculum!
