phonics worksheets

The 30 specially designed worksheets below will contribute immensely to your student's understanding of phonics and phonemic awareness strategies for consonants - blends - digraphs - diphthongs - and r-controlled vowels.  Each row below teaches 20 important words sharing a common vowel sound or reading rule.  The Worksheet LESSONS have been designed using a gradual increase in difficulty from one skill to the next. This "gradual" sequential skill building is a special technique which greatly speeds  the  memorization process by introducing only a small amount of new material with each worksheet.  This not only results in more efficient learning, but also provides an activity which reduces frustration and increases child self-esteem.   Certainly, a winning combination!  We are currently in the process of adding audio and video support to these worksheets.  When completed, a student will be able to click on the picture to hear a TampaRead's instructor explain the name of the picture and help with decoding the word properly.
