You might have other sound-spellings that you’re teaching and want a poster to accompany you. Here is an editable card page for you to add the sound-spellings you might need in addition to what we’ve provided. Here you go!
Remember, explicitly teaching the sound-spellings of our language is highly effective. It leads to being able to blend and decode words. Our language is wholly decodable.
Remember, KEEP ONE SOUND with IT’S SPELLING on a card/poster. Think… SOUND-SPELLING, not sounds-spelling.
One question we get often is how to teach consonant blends. Refer to our helpful video – you can jump to 5:15.
Happy NEW YEAR, we hope you enjoy and use this free resource!
Maybe you struggle teaching open and closed syllables. Or maybe you just need a simpler way to teach closed and open syllables.

Breaking the English language into the most common spelling patterns is an effective way to teach the connection of the sounds and the spellings to children while learning to read. This relationship between the sounds and the spellings of language is also called decoding. Decoding our language is critical to being an adept reader. Breaking the English language into the most common spelling patterns and teaching them explicitly in a clear scope and sequence is recommended. You can follow our pattern or break this up to follow your Core Reading Program's scope and sequence.
"When a vowel team goes a walking, the first one does the talking," is not always the case. There are other vowel long vowel spellings that go against that chant. We show you how to explicitly introduce or reteach these "other long vowel" spelling. Check it out!

What are sound-spelling patterns and why do we teach them?
The English language is a phonetically based language. It includes many words (50% wholly decodable and additional 37% within one sound) that are decodable. That is great news for those of us teaching kids to learn to read! This means we have a fairly reliable code we can teach them to use. This code is made up of spellings that link to sounds and these blend together to form the words in our language. We call the key to this code sound-spelling patterns. We as teachers must teach these sound-spelling patterns to our students, and teach them to be flexible in their use of those sound-spelling patterns (to account for the "within one sound" parts).
We cover more information about what and why we need to teach these sound-spelling patterns in our classrooms, yes, even upper grades! Big words are all made of sound-spelling patterns too!
We have an awesome resource for you to help you teach the sound-spelling patterns.
Reference lists for each sound-spelling with sound pictures, spelling, and word examples
Posters for each sound spelling! Headings included!
These posters provide a visual of all the sound-spelling patterns along with the teacher talk to teach them. The teacher talk is found in the teacher card which could also be used as a student reference sheet. We have also provided you with a colorful poster for your students to look at as a reminder of the sound each spelling makes.
This is great for whole class teaching of your phonics scope and sequence as well as intervention group instruction. Hang them on your wall for reminders or print them for your intervention table as help for struggling students during targeted intervention.
