Hard and Soft C & G | Structured Literacy Lessons | Science of Reading

Are you looking for some structured literacy phonics lessons that align to the Science of Reading? These Hard and Soft C & G lessons can be used to supplement or strengthen ANY core phonics program or curriculum. This resource includes explicit Hard and Soft C & G lessons, as well as student practice sheets AND word work activities.

**If you haven't taught the -dge generalization yet, I highly recommend teaching -dge BEFORE teaching Soft C & G. You can find EVERYTHING you need to teach -DGE HERE!

Each lesson comes with its own set of practice sheets and activities for use during guided practice, independent practice or as center activities.

• Use the instructional slides for whole group instruction (perfect for small group, too). Instructional slides are interactive! I've also included additional slides for practice and review throughout the year! Repetition is the key to mastery!
• Use the student printables and practice sheets to provide intentional practice in small groups or during independent work time.
• Use the picture and word cards as a word work center or in a small group.

Why I Created These Lessons:

I created these lessons because my core phonics program was just not cutting it! No matter how hard I worked, my struggling readers were still struggling! After spending countless hours researching, attending trainings and webinars and hundreds of book studies into The Science of Reading, I quickly realized that my phonics program was never going to provide my students with the explicit, whole-group instruction they so desperately needed! I felt like a rock star in my small group, but because I was relying solely on my balanced-literacy curriculum to teach whole group phonics, I felt defeated and frustrated. NOT ANY MORE! I took matters into my own hands and created a series of structured literacy digital phonics lessons that are based entirely on The Science of Reading.
