Daily Phonics Practice
Spend just a few minutes each day reviewing letter sounds, and phonics charts.
Children learn through consistent repetition.
Little by little, those sounds become automatic.
I started every single day with this drill… 185 days a year.
One of my tutoring students told me he was tired of saying our daily phonics drill because he already knew it and was saying it in his sleep. I said that’s awesome me too, Let’s keep doing it, You can lead it.
Whether your child says every sound aloud or simply listens and follows along, the routine is still strengthening the connections needed for reading.
Make it a routine, like brushing teeth. You just do it!

Phonics Chart
Phonics charts are one of the most useful tools you can use.
Each chart teaches one sound or spelling pattern.
Practice that chart, then add it to the stack you flip through every day.
Includes: Baby Words that end in a vowel, Rule Breakers, Little Word, Color Words, beginning H Brothers
How to use them
Add one new chart at a time
After the sound drill, practice 3–5 old charts
When your child reads or writes one of the patterns, refer to it.
Print 8.5 × 11, two holes at the top and keep them on a ring.
Which charts to start with
Follow the child, not the grade label
If they skipped the early charts—or still guess at letter sounds—start with the beginning set even in 2nd or 3rd grade.
Red Words are common words that do not follow the usual pattern. You will see more of those in Writing.
The chart packets
Choose the packet that matches the skills you need.
