Keep and informal record of student learning. Used with permission from JCSpell Lesson Planner Books, this page is a great recording tool to informally track student knowledge of the 70 Phonograms; letters, sounds, letter names, letter formation, lower case and capital matches. You can simply check items off when observed; however, entering the date observed instead of just a check mark will give you a more complete picture of progress.
Record informal observations of handwriting habits so you can target areas that might need improvement.

Games Mini Phonogram Cards pdf
A full set of 70 phonogram cards in ministure. The card fronts are replicas of the larger set of phonogram cards used by Alice Nine in the lessons. The card backs are blank. The phonogram card number is on the front –upper left corner. Tip: After you cut the cards out, clip the upper right corners slightly. This makes it easier to sort cards into a pile or lay them out with all cards going the same way–not upside down or backwards.
Do you want to use paper that has a broken mid-line to support correct letter formation and spacing? Alice Nine has created two writing papers. Writing lines are a light blue and include a broken mid-line to support letter formation and spacing. The top margin is narrow. Alice Nine does not allow students to write name or date in the top margin; write these on writing lines. The left margin is marked by an perpendicular red line. Width aof lines is the same as commercial wide-rule notebook paper.
This paper was created for those students who need supported practice with letter formation. The paper contains two complete practices; it can be left whole or cut in half. Printed very lightly on the paper are Alice Nine’s track letters with green starting dots. Please note, the track letters are intentionally light.
Practice directions: Students will write each letter two times: first using the track letter as a template, then in the blank space immediately beside that letter, they write a second one. There is enough space to do this. It is intentionally tight to help control letter formation and practice wirting letters close, the way we do when we write a word. When both letters are written, there will be no blank spaces. However, when they get to qu, students should leave a circle space before and after the phonogram they write on their own–exactly like we have been doing in our lesson videos.
