The Daily Lesson

Sample Phonemic Awareness Daily Lesson

The curriculum provides a weekly overview on each page. For each day of the week, the instructional content is organized in columns. Simply follow the content down the column each day.

It's important to keep daily whole-class lessons within a 15-minute timeframe. If the lesson exceeds this duration, avoid skipping skills. Instead, reduce the word count for each skill while ensuring that all phonemic awareness skills continue to be practiced.
