I bought Systematic Sequential Phonics about 2 years ago, but I found my then Pre-K, but almost 5 year old was not ready. So it got shelved.
As I am organizing our school supplies, I came across it and realized it would fit nicely into our first grade work. I think it could work good for even kindergarten, but my boy is just not there yet.
So this book does a nice job telling mom what to do! Oh, I like that. So it has reproducible pages in the back, so you can make your own alphabet tiles and a word building worksheet.
Things I like:
- Lessons are grouped by 5 with a focus for each week, systematically introducing letters a few at a time.
- It only takes about 10-15 minutes to do the lesson on a one on one basis.
- There is no prep work for the lesson besides photocopy of the word building worksheets (optional) and the prep work of making the letter tiles.
- I do not have to review the lesson before I teach it, I read it for the first time as do the lesson.
- Tract the words they learn.
So having just a little space, I have been trying to figure out how to make a home school word wall. So with some work I did this.
I am using the 4 by 6 index cards. I used some good card stock for the covers. I printed out the letter tabs and the cover onto card stock and got my mommy tools out to do the job!
To get my home made tabs strong, I folded them in half, added some good glue and a clothespin.
Finally, with the use of a good hole punch and some ribbon to bind it. Of course, you could just get a binder and do it that way. See thanks to pinterest, I was inspired by!

Have a great day teaching!
