Phonemic Awareness Bootcamp™
Are you struggling to fit phonemic awareness into your day…or wondering why students still aren’t hearing and manipulating sounds? Your kindergarten and first-grade students will thrive with this resource.
Phonemic Awareness Bootcamp makes teaching foundational literacy skills simple, effective, and manageable with quick daily lessons that build strong readers through explicit, systematic instruction in preK, K, and 1st grade.
Unlike traditional programs that rely heavily on abstract skills, this curriculum connects phonological and phonemic awareness skills to concrete pictures and symbols, helping students truly understand and retain the skills they need for reading success.
Designed using the latest science of reading research, this classroom-proven curriculum keeps students engaged while giving teachers a clear, structured path for instruction.
And the best part? Lessons take only a few minutes a day, making it easy to fit rigorous instruction into your schedule without overwhelm.
The lessons include whole group circle charts for explicit instruction, interactive games and activities for practice, and phonemic awareness worksheets for independent practice and assessment.
Even better, it works with ANY curriculum, helping you support and meet ELA standards while making your required curriculum easier to implement and more effective for student learning.
