Help your students work on fluency at home with Zoom Cards!
I sequence my phonics program carefully. It is structured, and students build 'brick by brick' on what they already know (free printable on sequence HERE).
If you are looking for a phonics system that is:
- comprehensive;
- fast to prep ;
- easy to implement and maintain;
- engaging and independent; and
- sequenced and challenging -
These zoom cards, numbered from 1 to 34 will step learners through a sequenced set of letter sound patterns and words.
They include cards for
- single sounds
- word families
- cvc words
- consonant blends
- ccvc words
- cvcc words
- consonant digraphs
- nasals
The cards are backline so you can copy them onto brightly coloured paper to add some interest.
Give each student a small plastic pouch to keep their cards in. You can assess the students quickly on a Friday to determine if they are ready to move onto the next card. It is personal choice, but I would recommend aiming for 100% accuracy.
Students have a card for the whole week and time themselves reading the sounds/words each night. They can record their best times and try to get faster as the week progresses. With 34 cards, there is enough to cover the whole year.
