Systematic Phonics
Use these slideshows to teach phonics in a systematic sequence. The lessons include phonemic awareness activities, decodable text stories, regular review of past skills, and dictation practice.
"Fast Track" is designed for students who already know how to decode in another alphabetic language, but need to learn the phonics patterns of English. These lessons can also be used to practice pronunciation.
