Phonogram Take-Home Sets

Letter to the Teacher

In addition to the 31 spelling rules, the 75 phonograms explain 98% of


English words and are foundational tools for understanding how English
works. Learning the phonograms is a crucial part of the Logic of English®
program.
Teachers using Logic of English often wonder what their students should
practice at home, especially if it's common to send home a list of words
to drill or to require the student to read for an assigned amount of time.
Spending time practicing the phonograms at home is an excellent way to
support what students are learning in class and to build their reading and
spelling skills! And even though the phonograms are crucial and should
be learned to mastery, they don't need to be practiced through boring
drills.
Logic of English has created some sample take-home phonogram game
sets designed to help students practice the phonograms in fun ways
outside of the scripted lessons. Each sample set falls at a particular point
in Foundations or Essentials. You can use these sets as a take-home
resource at that point in the lessons, but also as a model for other take-
home practice activities assigned throughout the year.
Each sample set focuses on 15 phonograms, including new phonograms
from recent lessons and previously taught phonograms that may need
review. The instruction page for each set includes all the information
needed to do the games with their student. Each instruction page
includes a brief introduction, instructions for two games to choose from,
and a list of the phonograms for that set, with corresponding sounds /
spelling hints and example words.
