Thank you!
Denise Sube –
My students like these phonics finds. I do like how they come in 2 versions – one with words to read and one with a blank to write.
I don’t see any ending blends in this packet. Would like a complete phonics set that includes ending blends.
To make this product perfect, mixed reviews of each phonics skill would be preferred.
FYI – diphthongs are located in the r controlled section which confused me at first.

Thank you for always having such amazing resources. I have a bunch of kiddos who are still struggling with phonemic awareness. It is difficult to find resources that are truly focused on phonemic awareness. This is perfect. It is engaging and is really helping out my kiddos a lot.

We use these daily in my second grade classroom, as the learning losses from last year required us to spend a great deal more time on phonics than ever before. The kids really enjoy finding the pictures to match the words, and it has had the wonderful added bonus of building vocabulary, as there are words we don’t frequently use, and it’s a natural time to discuss them!
Thank you!!
