Free phonics games, in the order they should be taught
This is a complete phonics scope and sequence, not a pile of games. Each page has a playable activity, the full decodable word list, and three ways to teach it away from a screen. Nothing here needs an account.
The order is not alphabetical and that is deliberate. Continuous sounds that can be stretched (m, s, f) come before stop sounds (t, p) so blending is teachable on day one. Confusable pairs are separated. Vowels arrive one at a time. Every new letter-sound is used in real words immediately.
