Sense of Sound Spelling® – First 9 Weeks Bundle DIGITAL DOWNLOAD

Traditional spelling lists ask students to memorize words.
Sense of Sound Spelling® teaches students how to encode words by sound, pattern, and structure.

This First 9 Weeks Bundle includes Units 1–2 plus a cumulative Sound Blitz review week, giving you 9 full weeks of explicit, engaging, and data-driven spelling instruction rooted in the Science of Reading.

Instead of copying words and hoping they stick, students learn:

• How sounds are spelled

• Why patterns work

• How to apply those patterns in reading, writing, and vocabulary

Each unit follows a predictable, teacher-friendly structure with daily plans, hands-on practice, morphology integration, and built-in assessments—so you can teach with confidence and clarity.

WHAT’S INCLUDED – FIRST 9 WEEKS

✔️ Unit 1 (Weeks 1–4)

Focuses on foundational sound–spelling relationships and early encoding patterns, including:

• NG, NK, CK, K

• TCH, DGE

• Short vowel pattern application

• Introduction to syllable awareness

• Sentence-level and paragraph-level encoding

Includes:

• Daily lesson outlines (10-12 minutes per day)

The Sound Blitz provides:

• Highly engaging review games and movement-based activities

• Spiral review of all phonemes taught in Units 1–2

• A cumulative assessment to identify:

  • Which phonemes students have mastered

• Whole-group and small-group activities

• Sentence scramble scoots

• Pattern Panic game

• Cumulative assessment + student tracking sheets
