Comic Book Phonics

In conjuction with my guest post for Innovative Connections, I did a phonics lesson for one of my students. I took a page from Calvin and Hobbes and copied it. We have been working on consonant digraphs lately. In this lesson, I chose to have him look for /sh/ /ch/ /th/ /k/. On a dry erase board, I wrote the sounds in columns. Each time he finds a word with those digraphs in them; he circles it and writes it in the according column.


You could do lots of phonic lessons with this idea. Maybe you could have them work on finding words that have these blends in them: /br/ /sp/ /sl/ /dr/. Hunting for different sounds can really help your students focus in on what they are hearing. Good luck and happy reading.
