More About This Resource
Strengthen first-grade students’ phonemic awareness skills with these Science of Reading-aligned, weekly phonemic awareness lesson plans. These NO PREP lesson plans focus on the phonemic awareness skills that make the biggest impact: segmenting, blending connecting graphemes to phonemes & isolating sounds.
This YEAR LONG curriculum includes everything you need to get started with phonemic awareness in your first grade classroom including a phonics scope and sequence, weekly lesson plans, student screeners, data trackers for ongoing progress monitoring, and picture card mats for word mapping! These lessons allow students to begin connecting phonemes to graphemes immediately. Use them as a warm-up in your small group to build foundational phonemic awareness skills!
This resource includes Beginning of the Year Student Screeners & Assessments so you know exactly where in the scope & sequence you should start with each student. The class data trackers allow you to continually track student data for ongoing progress monitoring. The weekly lesson plans walk you through exactly which skills to teach & the picture word mats build in opportunities for students to immediately connect phonemes to graphemes through word mapping.

I love that this is aligned to a phonics sequence rather than others that aren’t.

I use this in my small reading groups. I love the pictures to go with the words that they are trying to encode. I also love the organization of everything.

Thank you for creating a really simple way to build Phonemic Awareness skills into instruction.
The best part – no prep!

I like the phonemic awareness focus on CVC words beginning with short a. These are activities that align well with other short a work that I am doing with my struggling first grade readers.

I love this resource! It sets the tone for our phonics lesson. We start with this then move into Mrs. Winter Bliss’s word assessment (spelling). After we finish with her decodable books. It all flows together so wonderfully.

I use this amazing resource as the first part of my structured literacy group. I then use Mrs. Winter’s decodable books with blending lines and comp questions to round out the lesson. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This is a quick way each and every day to facilitate phonemic awareness whole class. When I see children struggling I can also use this resource a day or two later in small group to solidify the skills.

I appreciate how it is linked so I can find the page that is appropriate for what we are working on that week. Thank you!
Maida Aziez –
This resource was such a life saver. My students used it on everyday basis and I could definitely see much progress in their reading and phonemic awareness ability. I would highly suggest all elementary teachers to use it. You can use it for centres, small group as well as whole group teaching. Worth the purchase!

What a simply wonderful resource! I use it daily with my reading intervention students for effective phonemic awareness practice. It is also a quick, easy way to frequently evaluate progress in specific skills. Thank you!

Heather Karow –
I purchased this to supplement the curriculum my school provides. I find it well laid out and easy to use. I use it mostly with small groups to provide extra instruction. I would recommend this product.

I love how this resource follows the scope and sequence for the year. I used another resource last year that had a lot more things to do that weren’t specifically geared to the skill we were working on. The pictures are a great addition so my students can see and hear the word. It also ties in nicely with using the sound wall and word mapping. I highly recommend this resource!
