Daily Phonic and Language Drills
The booklet is teacher-made and contains just
the words, but not the skills or directions. The
directions or rules are in your reading and language manuals.
"Directions for the
Quiz
or
Teach
and Test"
First:
The
first 5 words were called out as a spelling test.
Next:
I
would have a
*few
students per word go to the board and write their answers and
the rest of the class would decide if it was correct, and go
over the rule. The
best way is to go word by word until you have done all 5.
This is where most of the phonic reinforcement is done.
Students check their own work by comparing their answers
with the answers the students wrote on the board.
(Also
having students write on the board gave the class an opportunity
to check handwriting errors like p, g, and y sitting above the
line or backward letters.)
*
(I wanted every child go to the board not just a few eager ones,
so I wrote all the
students name on popsicle sticks, put them in a can names upside
down, then I would
pull names until all were gone, put them back and start over.)
Last:
The
last 5 were called out as a spelling test and check by the
teacher.
Note:
Sometime
this would follow the skill lesson and other times it was used
to review skills. If I wanted to check their phonic, I would use
nonsense words that followed the phonic rules such as chert,
grute, stad, etc.
In fact, I usually started this
method by using nonsense words and every once in a while I would
throw a nonsense word in the group to check if they were using
phonic or just great spellers.
If you have any more questions,
email me and I’ll try to answer your questions.

Quiz Booklet
(or Teach and Test)
Excuse the errors, it
wasn't meant for anyone but me, but some teachers have asked for
the booklet so here it is.
The Phonic
Part of the paper
Explanation for L, S, R, VD, DPT
L means
long vowel
S means short vowel
R means r-control (ar/, er/, ir/, or/, ur/)
VD
means vowel digraphs (oo/ in moon, oo/ in book
etc)
DPT
means diphthong (ow/ in cow, ou/ in loud, oi/ in
oil, oy/ in boy, etc.)
You may
need to refer to your phonics program to decide what they
consider a vowel digraph and a dipthong. I found they
vary. I mostly used Saxon and Curriculum Press phonic
programs.
Note:
"If two vowels go a walking, and first one does the
talking", I consider them long vowels (or short vowels [as
in head] for the drill. I wanted my students to listen for
the vowel sounds. If you have questions, please email me at
