Phonics Strategies for 3rd and 4th Graders

Phonics Strategies is a program in which phonics concepts are absorbed more quickly, with less effort, that can be transferred successfully to unknown words in the student's education and recreational reading.

The phonics program is designed for 3rd, 4th and 5th graders. Vocabulary emphasizes two and three-syllable words.
Part 1 focuses on Vc, Vcc, and R-controlled vowel phonograms.
Phonics Strategies begins with more common prefixes and suffixes to build a solid foundation and progresses towards more difficult/less common Vccc/Vcccc phonograms and 4-letter R-controlled phonograms, along with harder prefixes and suffixes.

Part 2 of this series focuses on Vvcc chunks, Vce chunks and

diphthong vowels; plus advanced prefixes and suffixes, and adding suffixes to words ending in Silent E.

Phonics Strategies includes reading pages, listening and identifying skills, worksheets, hands-on activities, phonics poems, phonics games and even letters to parents for each unit!

Additionally, there is a phonics pretest, and three phonics post tests.

Answer sheets are included. For teachers who use the pretest and wish to zero in on specific concepts, an index is provided to help you find supporting reading and worksheets. Pronunciation clues and spelling rules with examples are also included in every unit.

Implementation of this Phonics Strategies for 3rd & 4th Graders should be a success with the Tips and Suggestions section included.

Goals are included on the top of each worksheet. Reviewing the goals can assist the mentor in understanding the purpose of the worksheet. It is also helps the parents to understand the emphasis of each page if worksheets are sent home to reinforce concepts reviewed during a class or tutoring session. Sharing the goals

with older students can give them incentive to focus.
