If instruction is to be provided in a systematic way, there needs to be a plan. The scope and sequence in The Phonics Companion is based on four years of research into how to best teach phonics, including the number of letter-sound correspondences to teach and how frequently to teach them.

Everything you need for planning and delivering the lessons in one place! This website provides easy access to 600+ digital files to support activities – all projectable, sharable and printable. A special feature of the website is the SLP Corner which provides short videos that allow teachers and student to hear the sound and see a Speech & Language Pathologist make the sound.

How you assess students in phonics is similar to how you assess them in other areas—a mix of anecdotal observations and informal and formal assessments. The Phonics Companion supports all of these types of assessment. Of special note is the Quick Screener which helps determine students’ knowledge of letter-sound correspondences. It also helps determine each student’s initial placement, monitor students’ progress, and establish small groups for more targeted instruction.
