Introduction & Tips
Welcome to our series of phonics workbooks for grades K-3.

The purpose of these workbooks is to help students learn to match the sounds of spoken English with
individual letters and groups of letters.

Kindergarten phonics workbook

The grade 1-2 workbook focuses on:

• The h-brothers: ch, ph, sh, th, wh sounds. For example, chess, thaw, whole.
• Consonant s-blends, l-blends, and r-blends. For example, skate, blanket, bread.
• Other consonant blends: tw, qu and wr. For example, twig, queen, write.
• Ending consonant blends. For example, tent, card, melt.
• Ending double consonants. For example: bell, glass, off, jazz.
• Long vowel sounds. For example, baby, equal, pony, music.
• Final e words. For example, grade, slide, robe, flute.
• Soft c and g sounds. For example, city, giraffe.
• Vowel digraphs. For example, rain, meal, soap, noise.
• Inflection endings: -s/-es, -ed, -ing. For example, jumps, jumped, jumping.

Tips on using this book

• This is not a quiet activity workbook. Work with your child to sound out the word for each picture, placing
an emphasis on the vowel sounds covered on each worksheet.
• Encourage your child to trace or print the letters in the workbook or on a separate piece of paper. This will
help solidify the sound/symbols recognition.
• Ask your child to think of other words that start with the letter sounds being practiced. Can your child
think of three words? Make a game of this exercise.
• Keep the learning fun and give positive praise and encouragement along the way.

Other books in this series

The kindergarten phonics workbook focuses on initial sounds and shoer vowel sounds in CVC/CCVC words.

The grade 3 phonics workbook covers r-controlled vowels, long and short vowel phonograms, silent e and
silent letters.
