This kindergarten alphabet phonics curriculum takes students from how speech sounds are made through every letter sound in the alphabet. Every lesson is 30 minutes and follows the same routine.
You get two versions of every lesson. The scripted version tells you exactly what to say, including what to do when a student gives the wrong answer. The quick reference version puts the whole lesson on one page for when you already know the routine and just need the sounds, words, and timing.
Reading and spelling happen in the same lesson. Students decode the words, then turn around and encode them.
⭐ THIS IS A GROWING CURRICULUM. HERE IS EXACTLY WHAT THAT MEANS.
Right now you get 40 lessons. That is Units 0, 1, and 2 through Lesson 30, covering articulation, uppercase and lowercase letter formation, 15 letter sounds including all five short vowels, CVC words, 14 heart words, and a decodable story for every word work lesson.
The rest arrives at the end of September: Lessons 31 through 60, finishing the alphabet through /z/, with a decodable for every lesson.
Short vowel review sets and digraphs are separate listings coming this fall.
Buy now and every update is free. I will email you when new files are added. The price goes up when the September release lands and you will never pay the difference.

Why You'll Love It:
Every sound starts with articulation. Students learn where a sound is made in the mouth before they ever see the letter, which is what makes a sound wall useful instead of decorative. It also gives you something to say to the student who keeps mixing up /f/ and /v/.
Word control is strict. Students only read words built from graphemes they have already been taught, plus heart words from earlier lessons. Nothing in the practice pages asks a kindergartner to guess.
Use it as your whole group phonics block, in small group intervention, or one on one for tutoring and homeschool.
Prep is quick and easy. Print the lesson, print the student page, and teach.
⭐ Already have your sound wall up? The keywords in this curriculum match the Thrive Sound Wall exactly, so students see the same picture on the wall and in the lesson.
