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 how well this compliments our phonics focus skills for the week. I just look at our focus for the week and find the skill that matches it. It is a quick routine that gets our mouth muscles warmed up and ready for the day!

I. found this resource too difficult for my students so I purchased the kindergarten set to use. It is perfect for my students.

I love this resource! I use the word mats with my ESL students using dry-erase pockets and they love it. One of my favorite things about this resource is that it comes with a week-by-week guide and a data tracker for the teacher. 100% recommended!

My students love this and so do I! I just copied on cardstock so it would be durable for years and used it. I also love how the assessments are quick and flow with exactly what my groups have been working on! Christina Winterbliss definitely knows what she’s doing. I have purchased so many of her products, which I consider tools, they never let me down. You can’t go wrong with any purchase form this seller, but this is one of the best!! Great for MTTS/RTI and Tier 3 Intervention time.

This is an awesome resource! A great resource to use for intervention groups. The only bad thing about the resource is I don’t recognize all of the picture cards. It would’ve been nice to have a list of what the pictures are. Thank you for this great resource!

Hi Kenya, the picture cards are the exact words from the daily lessons part 3 “connecting graphemes to phonemes”. Thank you so much for your purchase! -Christina

This is such an amazing time saver. All I need to do is access the focus skill in our district curriculum and use the corresponding lesson already planned out for 5 days. The only negative, I didn’t recognize all of the picture cards.

Hi Laurie,
The picture cards are pictures of section 3 of the daily lessons (connecting phonemes to graphemes) there are 5 words and pictures for each day.
Thank you so much for your purchase! -Christina
