Phonics is a tried and proven method for learning to read. Although English is not purely a phonetic language, phonics is an important tool for beginners learning to read the language. Due to the effectiveness of phonics-based instruction, more public and private schools have emphasized phonics instruction in recent years. Parents who teach their children at home also frequently report satisfaction with instructional materials for phonics, based on the emails we receive.

Within this collection of 81 free phonics worksheets, students practice learning vowels, beginning consonants, ending consonants and plurals, beginning blends, ending blends, consonant digraphs, long vowel sounds, R-controlled vowels, diphthongs, ph and gh, silent consonants, and more.
