Hands-On Phonics Activities for Elementary Children

I have had this book for over 4 years now and have used it with children from kindergarten through 2nd grade. I have manipulated the large picture pages to include handwriting lines for the children to practice writing their letters. The students consistently love the pictures that accompany each letter of the alphabet. There are word lists including: short and long vowel sounds, digraphs, blends, initial and ending consonants, silent 'e' endings, etc. This book is a keeper.

Wonderful multisensory variety

A teacher at school had this book and I decided I had to have it too. I am an occupational therapist. We work together with special ed students who are having difficulty learning to read and write at the k-1-2 level. This book contains the wide variety of multisensory activities needed to grab the attention and enable understanding for these students. Activities like this make learning fun and interesting for all of us.

Very intergrated!

This is an excellent book to use for planning in the elementary classroom. There are many lesson ideas, in all subject areas, including physical education, music,and even field trips! The character letters are terrific for early childhood...the kids love them!
