This phonics poetry unit includes 79 different phonics worksheets and activities that focus on different word families, phonemes, and/or phonics patterns.

*just added April 2020 – digital version for students to identify patterns within poems! Great for distance learning!

Why Use Phonics Poetry?

Poetry is such a great way for students to practice fluency, visualization and phonics skills. I created this unit to help my students practice all these skills and create their own poetry journal throughout the year! They keep their poems in the book bin to read and re-read as the year goes on. It ends up being such a great keepsake for students to take home at the end of the year.

Each word family or phoneme has a simple, original poem written by me, a visualization page, and a practice page for students to record their words and practice real vs. nonsense words.
