Phonics Adventures

There are four stops that students will make on each Phonics Adventures journey: Play the Game, Watch the Video, Read the Book, and Think about the Story. After completing the Interactive Word Study, the video, and the first reading of the book, students will then move on to a short quiz, where three comprehension questions will help them Think About the Story.

Letter Tray

The Letter Tray is an interactive digital tool that provides hands-on practice for letter learning and word study. Students and teachers can manipulate letters in a virtual workspace to support phonics instruction, practice making words activities, learn sight words, and more!

While the Letter Tray works wonderfully on desktops, try it out on a tablet or smartboard to get the full drag-and-drop experience!

Let's see where the road takes us! Watch Reading Adventures in action!
