Free Phonics Chant Mp3's, Writing Worksheets, and Flashcards

Phonics are defined as a way of teaching reading and spelling that stresses symbol-sound relationships, used especially in beginning instruction. I use phonics practice with my students from 2 years old all the way to adults. I learned how to read in the U.S.A with phonics, so I really believe it can give a solid foundation of what the letters sound like. For example, A sounds like ahh. Of course there are many exceptions to this, and I recommend not relying completely on phonics to get children to read, but it is a great starting point.

I have 2 Chants for practicing phonics. The first chant is the basic phonic sounds from A to Z, the second chant contains words that start with the phonic sounds. The second chant also cooresponds to My First Handwriting Book, which you can download below.

1. ABC Phonics Chant 1: Phonic sounds A to Z- Letter Name first then Phonics Sound

2. ABC Phonics Chant 2: Phonics Sound Only! Try Me!

3. ABC Phonics Chant 2: A-apple, B-bird, etc.

A to Z Phonics Cards: Printable phonics cards from A to Z with big and small letters. Great for practicing the Phonics chant.

Practice writing the letters of the alphabet and draw a picture that starts with that letter. I recommend this for younger students. It can be a fun exercise to pick the first letter of your students name and start from there, or just start from the letter A. You can either bring in a real object that starts with the letter, or use a book or flashcard as an example. Click on the letter to open the page to view and print the file:

A, B, C, D, E, F,G, H, I,J, K, L,M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z,

Writing practice worksheets: These worksheets cover the whole alphabet A to Z on one sheet of paper. One set has arrows to show which directions to write, the other has no arrows.

How to teach: I teach phonics by simply holding up a flashcard and saying the name of the letter, then the sound of the letter. Exactly as I recorded it in this chant. Once you students are comfortable with the sounds of the letters, you can say the letter name, sound and then a word that starts with the letter. For example:
A (ahh) apple!
B (buu) book!
It is always great to finish off practicing phonics by singing the ABC Song!
