Science of Reading In-a-Click Lessons BUNDLE | Full Year Small-Group Curriculum
The Science of Reading "In-a-Click Lessons" program, developed by Tara West at Little Minds at Work, is a comprehensive initiative centered around the science of reading, employing a systematic approach. The program follows a structured 6-step process for each activity, encompassing isolated sounds for learning, warm-up exercises with isolated words, word mapping, manipulation of sounds in words, encoding or writing words, and decoding phrases.

Each set of 5 lesson plans includes a cohesive all-in-one page designed for students to read sounds, successively blend skill-based words, and engage in additional word blending. Following the warm-up on each page, students decode a skill-based passage to apply learning, with these passages strategically crafted over 5 days to facilitate fluency development. Implementation time for lessons may vary based on teaching style and can be adapted to various settings, such as standard classroom instruction, small-group sessions, tutoring, intervention programs, homeschooling, and volunteer-led sessions.
The lessons are explicitly and systematically designed to ensure immediate success for all implementers. Pacing is flexible and contingent upon individual student progress, allowing for extended time in a lesson as needed. Ideally, each lesson should be repeated for two sessions, resulting in a 50-day unit of instruction.

Sets Included:
ABCs
CVC WORDS
DIGRAPHS AND BEGINNING BLENDS
CVCE WORDS
ENDING BLENDS AND R-CONTROL
VOWEL VARIANTS
Included material for each set:
- 25 lesson plans (across 5 pages) Ideal instruction is 2 days per lesson, making this set 50 academic days
- generic mapping mat
- 5 all-in-one pages (sounds, successive blending, word level decoding, and decodable passage)
- 25 student practice pages (10 in Unit 1)
Lesson Plan Components:
Sound to Learn: State the sound orally. Student states the matching letter. OR Write the sound. Student orally states the sound.
Warm-Up Words: Write the word for the student. Student decodes the word. Sound-by-sound decoding is appropriate.
Words to Map: Orally state the word. Student says the word, counts the sounds, and pushes an item into each box as they state the sounds.
Words to Chain: State the word and the sound swap. “Take away /sh/ and swap it with /ch/. What is the new word?”
Words to Write: State the word. Student repeats the word, counts the sounds, and writes the word.
Decodable Phrase to Read: Write the phrase for the student to decode. Ask for repeated readings 2-3 times to build fluency.
Apply to Learn: Student reads the sounds and successively blends words. “/f/, /fi/, fish.” Student blends isolated words. Student reads the passage.

The Science of Reading In-a-Click Lessons Bundle has been a lifesaver for my small groups! This full-year curriculum is thoughtfully designed, research-based, and so easy to implement. My kinders are making amazing progress thanks to these lessons!
As a busy teacher, I really appreciate resources that are ready to use and require little prep—this one was a lifesaver. I’ll definitely be checking out more materials from this seller! Thank you for creating such thoughtful and effective content. It made a real difference in my classroom!
Wow! This has been a game changer for my phonics routine with my whole and small groups. It is just a quick addition to what I'm already doing, but I feel that my students have made more connections and have grown so much from this practice. Thank you so much!
I love this resource! I used it all year long during small groups. My students loved the routine and it was very low prep. I was able to move my students through the different units and see their growth throughout the year. I'll continue to use these in my classroom.
I recently purchased this and immediately began to use it with students who have struggled all year. The lessons are short and effective for my students who typically struggle to focus throughout a lesson. I am excited to finish out the year using this resource!
