Fun Phonics Review Ideas

In stations today we completed some fun phonics review activities that you could do at home!  I made bags with gel, glitter, and food coloring. Students wrote the sounds I dictated on the outside of the bags. All you need to do is gather hair gel from the dollar store, glitter, and some food coloring. I would suggest saying the following sounds and having your child write the letters that make the sounds on the bag: /ar/, /or/, /ir/, /ur/, /er/, /ue/, /ew/, /ay/, /ai/, /oa/, /ow/, /igh/, /ie/, etc... You could then say words with the above sounds in them and have your child write the sounds they hear in the middle of the words.








We played a "cup toss game."  Students tossed counters into cups. They had to say the sounds printed on the cups and say a word that had the sounds in it.  This would be a fun review activity to complete at home!
