Beginning readers need intense phonics practice in a variety of methods. In my experience, young readers cannot get too much phonics instruction, and I say that as a homeschool mom with a variety of types of learners. Phonics and Latin and math facts are all similar in that way. They cannot be overtaught or over practiced. …
Beginning and intermediate readers need a multitude of ways to practice phonics. Give your young ones a nice change of pace with this set of Short Vowel CVC Word Search worksheets!

My almost 6-year-old and 2nd grader had a great time practicing their handwriting with the copywork color packet! It was a fun change of pace for them.

This Noun and Verb Sorting Activity is a fun way to practice parts of speech! This cut and paste-style activity is a welcome change of pace from regular grammar worksheets.

If you’ve been a reader at Mama’s Learning Corner for awhile, you know that my children love mini-books. I’m not sure what it is about the smaller format that makes writing so appealing, but it certainly works! And if I’m being honest, I enjoy the smaller format, too, when practicing writing with my younger ones! …
My girls each needed quite a bit of phonics practice when they were early readers. In fact, two of my girls needed explicit phonics instruction and practice all the way through 4th grade. I found that phonics lessons in the early years need to be short, plentiful, and most of all consistent. I, however, encountered …
In my 12+ years of homeschooling, I have found that you can’t practice phonics, grammar, Latin, or math facts too often.
