First Grade Phonics Long Vowel and Vowel Teams Unit

Description

This SFK First Grade Phonics Curriculum Unit focuses on phonics and phonological awareness skills of long vowels. Through this all-in-one unit, students will be able to decode, blend, spell and read words with long vowels- ay, ai, ee, ea, oa, ow, oe, ue, ui, ew, ey, oo, y (sounds like i and e).

This Long Vowels unit blends phonological, phonemic awareness, and phonics skills to ensure that your students are getting a solid foundation in early reading skills. Your students will love the exciting and engaging daily phonics lessons filled with daily songs, phonemic awareness warm-ups, and simple whole-group activities. Then, they will practice long vowels and vowel teams independently with one of the hands-on center activities or a variety of fine-motor skills-building phonics worksheets. They will have so much fun, they won’t even realize they are learning!
