No-Prep Phonics and Spelling Activities for 1st Grade!

As educators, we are aware of how much our students enjoy digital learning opportunities. However, have you ever considered the benefits for teachers when using digital resources? No need to print, photocopy, or worry about misplaced worksheets. Simply download, project, and teach!

Practice Spelling Words with the W, WH, and U Phonemes

This engaging online phonics game consists of 20 interactive, self-checking slides. Each slide contains an image and the incomplete spelling of the word.  To play, students must select the phoneme (wh, w, or u) that correctly completes the word. 

This resource is self-checking so it’s a breeze to assign and use. As students progress through the activity slides, correct answers will move them onward. Incorrect answers are prompted to return to the previous slide and try again.
