The UOS Phonics Series
The Units of Study in Phonics for grades K–2 provide a lean and concise instructional pathway towards high-leverage phonics concepts and strategies such as digraphs, blends, high frequency words, and more. Designed to keep pace with students' reading and writing, these units and help young readers and writers understand when, how, and why they can use phonics to read and write. The units offer delightfully fun and engaging storylines, classroom mascots, songs, chants, rhymes, and games to help students fall head over heels in love with phonics.
The Units of Study in Phonics are supported by grade-level Resource Packs (2 boxes per grade: Part 1 and Part 2). Each resource pack contains a variety of full-color, illustrated, posters; charts; picture, photo, word, and letter cards; copies of poems and songs; assessment materials; and much more to engage children and support daily instruction.
The Units of Study in Phonics, Grade K are supported by grade–level Resource Packs containing a variety of full–color, illustrated materials to engage children and support daily instruction. Because we know that the most loved resources are likely to be passed around many hands throughout the school year, we have created a Grade K Student Replacement Pack for the consumable materials that you may need to replace periodically, including resources such as student reference charts, resource books, and snap word cards.

Although human beings don't experience the metamorphosis that characterizes the life of a caterpillar, the transformation that happens during kindergarten is no less astonishing. Many of your children start their year holding books upside down and backwards and making letters look like squiggles, and then end the year reading and writing for their own important purposes. Phonics instruction is at the center of this transformation.

First-grade phonics is all-important. In this one year, students are expected to make the growth that enables them to go from reading little books comprised of just a few pages to reading early chapter books. In writing, too, there are ambitious expectations—children are asked to go from writing a few lines on a couple of pages to writing books with chapters—filling up multiple lines on a page and organizing their writing into sections.

The growth that second graders experience over the course of a year is incredible. Students start the year writing four or five sentences per page and end the year with ten or twelve sentences filling up a multi-page booklet. In reading, they go from reading early chapter books like Fly Guy to longer, more complicated books like Magic Treehouse. It’s the year that most kids get hooked on a series, fall in love with characters, and follow them on all sorts of adventures. Second-grade phonics is about closing the gap between what kids can read and what they can write conventionally.
