Phonics is the bridge between knowing letters and actually reading, and it is built in a strict order: letter sounds first, then simple three-letter words, then the tricky letter teams like sh and ch. The games here follow that exact ladder.
Two rungs get climbed at once in real classrooms: phonics for the words that play fair, and sight words for the ones that refuse to. Both live on this page, because a new reader needs both every day.
Letter sounds first, then blending short CVC words like cat and bug, then digraphs like sh and ch, then longer patterns. The sections on this page run in that order, top to bottom.
Yes and they work as a pair. Phonics decodes the regular words; sight words handle common rule-breakers like said and was that must simply be recognized. Strong readers get daily practice at both.
Ten minutes is plenty at ages 4-7: a few minutes of sounds or cards, then a game as the fun finish. Consistency beats length by a mile.
