Flip Up Phonics: Engaging Practice for First Grade Readers
Looking for an engaging phonics practice for first grade readers? These phonics printables and teaching slides offer hands-on and interactive practice, reinforcing decoding, letter-sound recognition, and fluency. Whether you are working in small groups, literacy centers, or during whole group instruction, flip up phonics is the engaging practice for first grade readers you need!
For primary grade teachers, this phenomenon is nothing new, but the incredible decoding leaps students make when they know their sound-spelling patterns are unmatched. For those who teach students to whom English is a second language, phonics takes a non-reader and transforms them into a reader of a new language.
Flip Up Phonics Digital and Printable
Each set of Flip Up Phonics resources provides multiple weeks of digital and printable phonics activities for daily word work, literacy centers, seat work, homework, mini-lesson note-taking, or projected in the classroom for whole group review!

I use these activities as word work in my literacy stations after doing the interactive teaching slides together. The grade level targets first grade but hits phonics patterns for K-2, beginning with short vowels and moving through digraphs, blends, word endings, and vowel teams.

These look really great! My class is just starting vowel teams next week so I bought this.
Question–the first page says The pattern and the words, but I didn’t see any word lists included. Am I just giving my own words for the students to write in the booklets?
You can use the words from throughout the booklets to form a list. I don’t give a specific list. We just use that activity as a brainstorming time when they use the pattern to think of the words they know. When they get stuck, I will add a word and that will prompt more responses.
