Teaching children phonics is the most rewarding subject to teach in my books. Before I became a reading teacher, I homeschooled my own children. Many people are fearful of phonics and don’t know where to start. I can assure you that if you take the time to educate yourself and check out all the FREE Phonics Online Training Resources, you will rock teaching phonics.
You got this!
No need to break the bank when teaching your students to read. All of these resources can supplement your own phonic program or they can stand alone. I always like to pick and choose several different resources because I have several different types of learners in my classroom.
