KINDERGARTEN PHONICS FOCUS ‘J’ SOUND

This set of printable sentences focusing on the initial phoneme / sound ‘j’ has so many uses in your Kindergarten, Pre Primary, or Elementary classroom. They are also great for homeschooling settings. We have combined graphics starting with ‘j’ and high frequency sight words, to help you meet two learning goals at once!

Each sentence uses the repetitive sentence, THAT IS A to promote reading fluency and mastery of sight words. The images have been carefully selected to ensure your students can easily recognize what the image is, and hear the phoneme ‘j’ in the initial position in each ’j’ word. We have even identified the learning focus areas which you can use in your planning.

These sentences can be used individually by laminating each sentence and using them in your guided reading or literacy centers. They could be made into sentence books for each student to use as a home reader, or an in class independent reading activity. The tracing pages can be used as both reading and writing independent or group activities, and will reinforce phoneme / grapheme recognition, reading fluency and writing and handwriting skills.

We know you will appreciate how easy these are to use in your classroom and you will be delighted at your students’ progress and engagement.
