Description

This 2021 edition of the download-and-print Spelfabet Workbook 1 teaches basic phonemic awareness (segmenting and blending) and sound-letter relationships. It works from three-sound words (CVCs) to six-sound words (CCCVCCs). Its 102 pages of worksheets also introduce doubled letters (ff, ll, ss, zz), and suffixes (plural -s and past tense -ed) which carry meaning as well as representing sounds. Up to 5 copies may be printed. If you want to make more copies, get the Teacher/Clinician version instead.

The workbook’s 102 pages of activities follow the same teaching sequence as the Units 1-10 Sounds~Write program/books, the Dandelion Launchers and Readers Units 1-10 and simplest Phonic Books Catch-up series (Moon Dogs 1 and 2, the first half of Magic Belt/That Dog), and the simplest Forward With Phonics resources. It is intended to complement their workbooks, not replace them.

This workbook was designed by a Speech Pathologist to be easy for parents, aides and other non-specialists to support. The pictures in the file are in colour, but colour printing is optional. Here’s a 9 minute video which walks you through this workbook.
