Closed Syllables VCCV | Structured Literacy Phonics Lessons

Are you looking for some structured literacy whole-group phonics lessons to help your students master closed syllables? These digital phonics lessons can be used to supplement or strengthen ANY core phonics program or curriculum. These closed syllable phonics lessons will have your students reading, writing and spelling VCCV words in no time!

I created these lessons because my core phonics program was just not cutting it! No matter how hard I worked, my struggling readers were still struggling! After spending countless hours researching, attending trainings and webinars and hundreds of book studies into The Science of Reading, I quickly realized that my phonics program was never going to provide my students with the explicit, whole-group instruction they so desperately needed! I felt like a rock star in my small group, but because I was relying solely on my balanced-literacy curriculum to teach whole group phonics, I felt defeated and frustrated. NOT ANY MORE! I took matters into my own hands and created a series of structured literacy digital phonics lessons that are based entirely on The Science of Reading.
