4 Free Phonics Lesson Plans [Updated]

We’re excited to share four free phonics lesson plans. These are free lessons within the Off2Class Foundational Literacy Curriculum.

These lessons are designed specifically for secondary ELs, so they are age-appropriate and not adapted from something that’s focused on younger learners or native speakers. Since they are aligned with the Science of Reading, they work for any student who needs to build literacy. However, they are especially helpful for newcomers, Long-term ELs, and Students with Limited or Interrupted Formal Education (SLIFE).

Which 4 phonics lesson plans are included?

LS.1.1: Simple Vowels (WIDA: Pre-Entering)

Introduce simple vowels (monophthongs). At the end of the lesson on literacy, students can distinguish simple vowels and produce an anchor word for each. 

Helpful note: This lesson is most effective with plenty of phoneme models from the teacher.
