Resources
Silent e (magic e)
Powerpoints: These powerpoints will reinforce the silent e reading rule
(usually, when there is a silent e at the end of a word, it causes the vowel
to make the long sound—say its name). These powerpoints advance using the
right arrow key. This way, students are able to work at their own pace.
There are four powerpoints with voice narration so students can listen to
the proper pronunciation of words with and without the magic e. The
remaining four powerpoints do not have voice narration; therefore, students
can practice applying the silent e rule independently.

Letter Sound Association
Powerpoints: This link will provide students the opportunity to learn the
names of the letters, the sounds they make, and a picture association for
each letter. The mastery of these skills is essential for early reading
development. Research has shown that children need between 70 and 170
repetitions to learn information to the level of automaticity.
Sight Word Powerpoint:
Basic sight word recognition is essential for reading fluency and
comprehension. This PowerPoint Slides will be a quick way to practice 220
essential high-frequency words with your child. Sit down and challenge your
student by asking him/her how many words he/she knows. If they do not know
these words yet, it will be a fun way to start.
Sight Word Powerpoint with Sentences:
This presentation includes the 220 essential high-frequency words
and an example of those words used in context. This will be a great way for
children to practice sight word recognition within the context of a basic
sentence.
Audio
Sight
Word PowerPoint Slides Slides:
The following link
will allow your child to work with smaller amounts of the 220 sight words
children need to master by the end of third grade.
The links are divided into groups of 20 (11 lists in all). Start
with List 1 and work through List 11.
When you feel your
child has mastered all 220 words (with 90%) accuracy, try out the PowerPoint
Slides presentations found in slots 1 and 2.
The PowerPoint Slides Slides in slots 1 and 2, however, do not have audio
support.

The King of Soundsound:
This challenging reading activity provides access to all 44 phonemes
(sounds) that our language provides. By reading this story and practicing it
with your child, you will ensure that your child is exposed to the
multifaceted sounds our language makes. At the end of this story, you will
also find several phonogram poems that will improve your child's fluency.
Read these with your child and have a blast!
Phonogram Powerpoints:
A phonogram is a word part that contains a group of letters that are often
found together (ight, ell, ought, ook, oop, ump, uss). It is important for
children to recognize phonograms as part of their phonics training. These
powerpoints will provide easy access to over 200 different phonograms you
can practice with your child. The more phonograms they can pronounce, the
more words they will be prepared to read and sound out.
