Ms. Davenports Classroom –
I’ve used the first grade phonics passages with my second graders as an early finishers packet, but they were blowing through them so I purchased this pack for them to try out! I love that it challenges them so much more. They need to know alphabetizing and understand the sounds in order to do it and it takes them much longer! ANOTHER great product from Angie I highly recommend.

I love how organized this is. With skills-based small groups, these mats make it so easy for a small group to occur based on a myriad of phonics skills. I also like that it sets up a procedure that the students can get used to for many other skills in the future.
