• Building Background Knowledge*: Lessons include topics that support student learning in science and social studies, giving real-world context to literacy instruction.
• Interactive & Hands-On Learning*: Your students will love creating graphic organizers, rhyming word lists, and sentence structures while building their understanding of core literacy concepts.

This resource is 100% aligned to the 20 Mint Set Decodables (sold separately) already released in my store. You do not need to use MY decodables, as long as the decodable book you use targets the new phonics skill for the lesson.

PLEASE NOTE: Phonics Skill Groups IS NOT THE SAME as Guided Reading. Students in Phonics Skill groups are grouped based on foundational phonics skills, not reading levels. I created the Quick Placement Assessment (included in this product) so you can easily know which lesson to begin small group phonics instruction with each of your students.

Thank you so much for considering this purchase, designed with the Science of Reading research and how the brain learns to read, in mind. This product also aligned to the Science of Learning.
