Try this fun reading game! ✏️ Write a mix of real and nonsense words on small pieces of paper. 🎯 Game: Keep the real words and toss the nonsense ones! This game helps children develop essential phonics and decoding skills in a playful way. Here’s how: ✅Word Recognition - Identifying real words strengthens their ability to recognize familiar patterns and sight words. Sorting nonsense words encourages attention to phonics rules and decoding. ✅Phonemic Awareness - Children practice blending sounds to determine if a word is real or not, enhancing their sound-to-letter connection. ✅Critical Thinking - Deciding which words to “keep” and “toss” builds problem-solving and decision-making skills. ✅Engagement - The game adds a hands-on, interactive element to learning, making it enjoyable and memorable. ✅Science of Reading Approach - By working with real and nonsense words, children reinforce decoding strategies, a key part of building reading fluency. Real CVC Words: cat, map, bug, pin, bed, dog, hop, fun, leg, sun, pig, van, top, rug, cup, bat, red, kit, pot, jam Nonsense CVC Words: zab, mip, nug, rit, bep, tog, hup, lum, teg, suv, pid, vak, tob, rup, lat, ref, kib, fot, jem Follow @learnwithkidscrafts for more simple and effective phonics activities! #readinggame #learningtoread #earlyliteracy #phonicsfun #homeschoolmom #handsonlearning #diymom #learningathome

A simple reading game: read the word, find the match, pop it in the circle ✨ Such an easy, hands-on way to practise CVC blending. Little tips that helped us: say the sounds slowly, tap each sound, then slide them together (c-a-t → cat), keep it playful, and celebrate every tiny win 💛 #homeeducation #phonicspractice #cvcreading #earlyreading #learningthroughplay #readinggames #handsonlearning #preschoollearning #simplelearning #ourhomeschool #OurGladventures

How I turn all students into grade-level readers—in under 10 minutes a day. Yes, even the ones who “aren’t ready.” Yes, even when time is tight. Yes, even with the text you already have. It’s all about shared reading—but not the way you learned it in college. This routine is short, powerful, and incredibly intentional. In just 10 minutes a day, I guide my class through:    •   Rich, engaging grade-level texts    •   Daily repetition that builds fluency + confidence    •   Word work + phonics that are embedded, not “extra”    •   Strategic teacher modeling that boosts comprehension for every learner You don’t need a whole new curriculum. You need a system that works with your students, not around them. Drop “READ” in the comments and I’ll DM you my self-paced PD that shows you how to do this with any text—plus you’ll get 5 days of scripted lessons, videos, and real classroom examples to follow. This is the system that changed everything for my readers—and I know it can do the same for yours. Let’s make shared reading your most powerful 10 minutes of the day. #TeachersOfInstagram #ReadingTeacher #SharedReading #ElementaryTeacher #TeacherTikTok #PrimaryTeacher #TeachingReading #TeacherHack #FirstGradeTeacher #LiteracyMatters #TeachItReal #ScienceOfReading #PhonicsFun #TeacherWin #SimpleTeachingStrategies #WhatTeachersNeed #TeachingTips #EngagedLearners #ReadAloudMagic #TeachSmarterNotHarder
