PhonicsandStuff
The fifth effective literacy website that I will be discussing is the website PhonicsandStuff. This website has a variety of useful literacy materials. Upon entering the website you will see the tabs for ‘games, read-alongs, decodable readers, teaching tools, articles, and a link to their TPT Store. When you click on the ‘games’ tab you will see a variety of phonics and reading games. These games include: sound blending, sound letter match, reading words, short vowels, spelling, abc order among others. These games can be a useful tool for students who might need assistance with the very basics of literacy but need a change of activity. This website will provide a good variety that continues the practice of literacy.
There are also decodable readers that can be accessed and used for the student to practice. It also shows which short vowels, consonants, word types, and tricky words. They can also be downloaded and printed which would also be helpful for extra practice when the student does not have access to the website.
The website also has Read-Along Stories which are great to show your students or just for a student to access. They are able to listen to some books and can read-along. This is a wonderful part of the website that can help greatly with literacy. There are various Tools for Teaching Phonics that can be accessed from this website. These tools help with graphemes, phonemes, building word lists, creating decodable sentences, a phoneme reference guide, among others. Phonics Articles are available for users to access, these articles are useful especially for teachers who are working on the very basics of reading/literacy with their students.
Overall, the website Phonics + Stuff provides its users a variety of materials that can be very useful for improving literacy for the child/student. There are activities for a student to do when they access the website, as well as materials that a teacher/parents can access to help their child progress and improve their literacy skills.
