FLOSS Phonics Workbook

FLOSS Phonics Workbook is a Science of Reading aligned phonics workbook for Kindergarten, Grade 1, and early Grade 2, focused on mastering the FLOSS spelling rule (double consonants ff, ll, ss, zz) through structured decoding and spelling practice.

Created using a structured literacy approach by an Orton-Gillingham-certified teacher, this workbook helps early readers build strong phonics skills, spelling patterns, fluency, vocabulary, and sentence-level writing. It is ideal for reading intervention, small groups, tutoring, and homeschool phonics instruction.

How the FLOSS rule is taught in this book:

Students learn the FLOSS rule clearly and then practice it through a wide range of engaging, hands-on activities that support different learning styles and keep motivation high.

Key activity highlights include:

•Word lists for each FLOSS pattern (ff, ll, ss, zz)

•Say-Tap-Map-Write activities to hear and map sounds

•Find and circle FLOSS words

•FLOSS picture identification activities

•Color and write FLOSS words

•Read and write FLOSS word activities

•FLOSS word sorts

•Find and write FLOSS words in context

•Read and color activities

•Roll and cover

•Roll and read / roll and color

•Find and color FLOSS pictures

•Sentence mix-up (rewrite sentences in correct order)

•Draw and color the picture to match the sentence

•Sentence writing using FLOSS words

•Choose your own five FLOSS words

•Write your own sentence using the FLOSS rule

These activities provide repeated, meaningful practice so the FLOSS rule sticks and transfers into real reading and writing.

Designed for Science of Reading classrooms:

This workbook pairs seamlessly with the FLOSS Rule Decodable Reader in The Science of Reading Phonics Workbook & Decodable Series (MASTER SERIES). After students complete explicit practice in the workbook, they apply the same FLOSS spelling patterns in carefully controlled decodable text that uses only previously taught sounds and patterns. This ensures accurate decoding, increased fluency, strong spelling transfer, and more confident, independent reading.

Who this workbook is for:

•Classroom teachers

•Homeschool families

•Reading specialists

•Tutors

•Parents supporting early readers

Whether a child is learning the FLOSS rule for the first time or needs extra structured practice, this workbook offers clarity, repetition, and confidence-building support for lasting reading success.
