Build mastery and automaticity in phonics and decoding with Word Warm-ups! These quick, easy-to-implement phonics exercises won’t beat the cold winter temperatures, but they will prepare your students for reading success.
Many students have difficulty decoding common phonics and syllable patterns. For these students, you won’t find a better solution than Word Warm-ups. When students receive support in mastering these patterns, reading achievement can grow by leaps and bounds.
As with all Read Naturally programs, you can trust the high-quality research that went into creating Word Warm-ups. Every step of the way, we relied on the experts: teachers who have extensive experience with struggling readers, and the students in their care. We tweaked and perfected the program until both of these groups were thrilled with the results. We think you will be too!
