Phonics Makes Readers: Kindergarten Phonics Games

This was a solid, kid-friendly phonics workbook. Everything is bright, simple, and broken into bite-sized activities—perfect for short attention spans and “just one more page” energy. I love that it mixes things up (letter sounds, vowels, blends, word families, rhyming, tracing, matching, etc.), so it doesn’t feel like the same worksheet repeatedly.

What really worked for me is how easy it is to use as a parent/teacher: you can open to any page and go, and there are enough activities here to stretch across summer learning or to use as quick, low-prep practice during the school year. It also feels approachable for kids who might get discouraged—lots of color and clear directions, without cramming too much onto one page.
If you’re looking for a fun, structured phonics supplement for preschool/kindergarten (or an emerging reader who needs extra practice), this is a great pick. 

100 % recommended from a former 5th grade teacher!
