Phonics Strategies for 2nd Graders - Part 1 by Phonics Advantage
ELA, Language Development, ESL, Phonics, Literature, Poetry, Grade 2, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
Phonics Strategies for 2nd Graders is a program that equips students with decoding tools (phonograms, blends, phonics rules, pronunciation rules, word endings and syllable dividing examples) to enable students to become successful, independent readers. Phonics Strategies makes learning to read fun by using diversification to hold the student’s interest with hands-on activities, listening skills, phonics games, phonics poems, flipbooks, and worksheets. Part 1 of Phonics Strategies for 2nd Graders is a 221-page PDF that focuses on 25 Vc phonograms (chunks) and words ending in -le syllables (ble, ple, dle, tle, etc.) Part 1 also introduces Silent E's and uses hands-on activities to experience how a short-vowel Vc chunk becomes a long-vowel phonogram when Silent E is added. There are ten Nonsense Word Challenge Sheets where students practice less common consonant blends and digraphs. The rule of doubling the consonant of a Vc chunk when adding a word ending beginning with a vowel is emphasized throughout the units through examples and worksheets. Students learn how recognizing Vc chunks can help them to divide longer words into syllables. The PDF zip-file includes 5 Chunk Reviews that can be used as assessment tools; Mentor Notes, tips and suggestions; 5 Phonogram Memory/Match Games; 5 Parent Letters (for using materials as homework); Pronunciation Rules (Soft C, Double Vowels, ir-er-ur); Answer Keys; and Listening Skills challenges. The Phonics Strategies series are a mixture of serious phonics concepts and educational fun.

Phonics Strategies for 2nd Graders, Part 2 by Phonics Advantage
ELA, Language Development, Phonics, Strategies, Literature, Poetry, Grade 2, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
Many phonics programs emphasize written worksheets. Often students who had poor small-motor skills in kindergarten and 1st grade had difficulty learning phonics concepts taught in this style. Phonics Strategies series are designed to enable students to quickly advance to grade-level reading by incorporating fun and diversity into the program. In addition to written work, students learn through listening, identifying, comparing and using hands-on activities. Mystery Words, letter tiles, flipbooks, phonics poems and phonics games add educational fun. Short activities mean that multiple phonics concepts and learning styles are encountered during each mentoring session. This multifaceted approach helps to hold the focus and attention of students. Part 2 of Phonics Strategies for 2nd Graders by Phonics Advantage is a 255-page PDF that emphasizes Vcc phonograms, R-controlled vowels phonograms and common suffixes. Part 2 lays the groundwork for decoding long-vowel chunks and diphthong-vowel chunks that are the emphasis of Part 3 of this series. The phonics concepts/rules on Silent E, Soft C, -le syllables (ble, ple, tle, etc.) and consonant blends that were introduced in Part 1 are reinforced in Part 2. The purpose of the Phonics Strategies series is to enable students to become successful, independent readers by giving them tools to decode multisyllable words. Students study the basic building blocks – phonograms types, blends and digraphs, prefixes and word endings, pronunciation and spelling rules, and common syllable dividing points. Students learn that chunks are usually the end of a syllable. By being able to instantly identify phonograms, word endings and prefixes, students have tools to divide multisyllable words into decodable units. Goals and directions are at the top of each page. Included are pages of tips and suggestions, and mentor notes. The series can be administered by a teacher, an aid, or a parent helper in the classroom setting. A parent letter is included with each unit for sending pages home as homework. Phonics Strategies not only teaches the students decoding skills, it also helps the parents to become better reading mentors.
