This site has been created to house the phonics lessons which were previously available for download on the West Virginia Department of Education Reading First webpage (http://wvde.state.wv.us/).

All rights and credit for these lessons belong to the West Virginia Department of Education. We thank them for publicly sharing these valuable resource materials.

The link to these lessons is no longer available or maintained on the West Virginia Department of Education website. For that reason, we are making these lessons available to our teachers via this site.

To locate lessons for skills, please use the menu below. If you wish to use these lessons now or in the future, you may want to consider downloading and saving these files to your own desktop or external storage device.

Skill 1 is phonemic awareness and letter recognition. Students must be able to blend and segment at least 4 phonemes and have the ability to name and match sounds to all 26 letters before beginning the lessons. These skills are not included in the lessons.

There is no scope and sequence for the lessons. The needs of the student will determine where you begin with the lessons.
