Kindergarten Phonics Unit Alphabet Recognition and Letter Sounds Lessons

This SFK Kindergarten Phonics Curriculum Unit focuses on emergent phonics and phonological awareness skills of letter recognition and letter sounds. Through this all-in-one unit, students will be able to identify letter names, recognize letter sounds, and write uppercase and lowercase letters with simple and engaging lessons.

The letter recognition and sounds unit blends phonological, phonemic awareness, and phonics skills to ensure that your students are getting a solid foundation in early reading skills. Your students will love the exciting and engaging daily phonics lessons filled with daily songs, phonemic awareness warm-ups, and simple whole group activities. Then, they will practice that phonics skill independently with one of the hands-on center activities or a variety of fine-motor skills-building phonics worksheets. They will have so much fun, they won’t even realize they are learning!
