The phonics unit I focus on while wrapping up the school year.

When I was a classroom teacher, this time of year always felt a little unclear. The year was winding down, and there was technically still time to introduce new concepts, but my students were already halfway checked out. Instead of pushing something brand new, I shifted gears. I started reviewing and extending the phonics skills we had already taught by doubling down on multisyllabic words. It gave students a way to actually use what they knew in real reading—grade-level texts, but also the things they were naturally drawn to: magazines, YouTube descriptions, TikTok captions, even cereal boxes.

Finally, a science-of-reading-aligned resource that teaches students to apply their phonics knowledge to spelling and reading multisyllabic words. This Orton-Gillingham aligned phonics resource reviews syllable patterns and syllable division, and provides numerous opportunities to read and spell multisyllabic words containing the most common syllable types.

The multisyllabic words in this resource contain:

• Closed Syllables (CVC)

• Open Syllables

• Initial & Final Consonant Blends

• Magic E (CVC-e)

• Vowel Pairs

• Glued Sounds- ng/nk

• Inflectional Endings: -ed, -ing, -es
