Hands-On Phonics Learning
Centers
by Cathie Perolman
These exciting new phonics programs
guide beginning readers slowly and sequentially through manipulative
activites following a phonetic sequence. Activities include both decoding
(reading) and encoding (spelling). Students work through the activities at
their own pace, working and then recording their work in their own recording
booklet. Some teacher interaction will be needed by students. Lamination is
recommended.
The
Short Vowel Program consists of 36 activities focusing on beginning and
ending consonants and the five short vowels. Activities include spelling
words with a movable alphabet, matching word cards to miniature objects,
matching words to picture cards, labeling nine pictures on a large card,
reading one-word booklets, and reading word family cards.
Components
include:
word and picture cards
30 miniature short vowel objects
movable alphabet
reproducible recording books

The Vowel Buddies Program uses 36
activites to encompass eleven long vowel sounds, including ai, ay, ee, ea,
ie, _y, oa, oe, ow, ui, ue.. The Vowel Buddies activities are similar to
those in the Magic E Program (picture above) and include spelling
words with movable letters, matching words to pictures or sentences,
identifying vowel buddies words in sentences, sorting words by vowel
pattern, labeling pictures on a large card, reading one-word booklets,
reading word family cards, and reading riddles.  
The activities can be housed in plastic drawer units, small cardboard
game boxes, or any container of your choice. Our cardboard boxes are approximately 6 x 4 x 2 inches.
The short vowel program and the vowel buddies program will need
36 game boxes, and the magic e program will need 18 drawers or
game boxes. We have discontinued the drawer units, but they can be ordered
from K-Mart.com using the following link:
