phonics worksheets

The table below shows the index to our Phonics and Phonemic Awareness Worksheets. These worksheets will develop a thorough understanding of phonics and phonemic awareness skills for consonants - blends - digraphs - diphthongs - and r-controlled vowels.  Each row below teaches 20 important words sharing a common vowel sound or reading rule.  The Worksheet LESSONS have been designed using a gradual increase in difficulty from one skill to the next. This "gradual" sequential skill building is a special technique which greatly speeds the  memorization process by introducing only a small amount of new material with each skill worksheet while also providing additional practice of the previous skill.  (next column) This not only results in more efficient learning, but also provides an activity which reduces frustration and increases child self-esteem.   Certainly, a winning combination!  We are currently in the process of adding audio and video support to these worksheets.  When completed, a student will be able to click on the picture to hear a TampaRead's instructor explain the name of the picture and help with decoding the word properly.
