Secret Words Phonics Cards : This phonics center can be used for simple literacy centers, morning work, small group work, sub plans for even home practice.

These simple cards are an alternate version to the best-selling Secret Sentences resource (click HERE to see over 500+ reviews) In this version, students use individual word cards to write (or place a magnetic letter) the first letter of the picture (ie: C for a picture of “cat”) The letters will spell out a phonics word. They choose from the pictures provided which matches the word they decoded (to show comprehension). Toss these cards into a bin with dry erase markers (or magnetic letters) and you’re ready to go. There are over 40 printable pages with 3 cards per page.

Please note: This resource includes versions to practice many different phonics rules together. Therefore there’s no need to search for separate sets if you want to use the same activity for CVC or CVCe words, for example – they are all included! The sets are 50-100+ pages each, and include several pages for all or most of the phonics topics below:

  • CVC short vowels
  • Long Vowel Pairs
  • CVCe words
  • Blends
  • Digraphs
  • Diphthongs
  • R-Controlled Vowels
  • Double Consonants

NOTE: This set is part of a larger bundle where 6 phonics resources are available together at a lower price. Remember that each set contains pages for multiple phonics rules and so include 50-100+ pages each:

    After using this with a small group of students who were beginning to decode CVC words, I included them in a language arts tub. I have observed students who are not ready for decoding using these to just identify the beginning sound of the pictures. I have also noticed some of my more advanced students helping their classmates in reading the words after they are built.

    I LOVE this because it allows me to work with my five year old on the letter sounds, but that it has the secret word, which she loves. Anything mystery and she gets excited! Then once we work out the sounds, she can work to read the word since she I have begun teaching her the word families. A great way to teach blending as well! I will be definitely be purchasing more of these!
