This free phonics lesson plan introduces the graphemes a_e, i_e, and o_e. It is one of many within the Off2Class Foundational Literacy Curriculum.

We’ve made these lessons free and downloadable because we want to help teachers address the literacy gaps that are often present across several secondary EL student populations. The challenge that many districts face is because most existing interventions are designed for younger learners and native English speakers. Off2Class offers an age-appropriate scope and sequence designed to address the literacy gaps that might be present in any subset of the secondary EL population. Addressing these gaps targets a key blocker that is often limiting a learner’s English proficiency gains.
