This is a flipchart file, which is an Active Inspire File used on Promethean Boards. It has cards that the useer can drag into the open workspace and build phonics-based words. The phonics system is an Orton-Gillingham based system. Each of the 6 syllable types (CLOVER) are their own flipchart file. This is the closed syllable file. There are also teacher support tabs within the document.

Is Phonics Reading?
Phonics is a basic building block of reading. Phonics is the study of the sounds made by letter combinations.
- English has 44 sounds.
- English has 26 letters.
Since we have more sounds than letters, we have to pair certain letters up, and those letters make sounds.

Dictionary Instruction is NOT all Equal!
When I was a 3rd grade student myself, I asked my teacher how to spell giraffe. My teacher said, "Look it up in the Dictionary." I spent the next hour dutifully looking through the entire "J" section in the dictionary. I said it was not there. My irritated teacher, took the dictionary, turned to "G" and flipped right to giraffe.
