Kindergarten Phonics and Reading Curriculum

McRuffy Kindergarten Phonics and Reading builds early reading skills through systematic phonics, spelling, language activities, reading practice, and optional handwriting.

Students work with short-vowel consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) words, long-vowel words with silent e, selected high-frequency words, vowel digraphs such as oa and ay, the sh digraph, and consonant blends including gr, st, and mp.

The complete curriculum package includes:

• Teacher's Manual Set
• Two Workbooks
• First Step Readers
• Kindergarten Reading Book Set
• Resource Pack

Students can also use an online game each week in the McRuffy Kindergarten Playground. Free resources, standards information, and curriculum updates are available in the Resource Center.

Additional beginning reading books and Kindergarten handwriting options are also available separately.
