Phonics crafts that are actually phonics practice? Phonics crafts that are actually phonics practice? Yes, please! ✂️ These digraph crafts are more than just something cute to hang on the wall!

I have these crafts for blends, magic e, vowel teams, and more! Comment CRAFTS and I’ll send you the link! 💜
Independent reading lasting about 3 minutes? Been Independent reading lasting about 3 minutes? Been there 😅 When I taught reading stamina, I always started small. A goal they could actually reach, lots of talking about what good reading habits look like, and a few ideas for what to do when they start losing focus. It takes time, but it does get better! And before you know it, those few minutes start turning into much longer stretches of focused reading 🤩 Save this for your independent reading time or comment STAMINA and I’ll send you the link to these activities.

You can use the same routine for so many different phonics skills! Want to try it? I have a FREE sample using the SH digraph. Comment PHONICS and I’ll send it to you 💛 #iteachfirst #iteachkinder #firstyearteacher
