Raising standards in KS1 and Special Needs: helping every child to succeed. I have taught systematic phonics to all ages and abilities for over 30 years. My teaching degree was in Environmental Studies and I hate to see science reduced to box-ticking when there is so much to discover about the wonderful world we live in. So, I produce Phonic resources that meet the real needs of children and teachers, along with science resources to engage children in learning about the natural world.

Phonic Worksheets for Phase 5 of Letters and Sounds

(0)
A bumper pack of 160+ pages of resources - to help you to teach all of the new graphemes for Phase 5 of Letters and sounds to all abilities. This pack follows on from our popular Phonic Worksheets for Phases 3 and 4. This pack will help you to Introduce the new phase 5 graphemes: ay, ou, ie, ea, oy, ir, u-e, aw, wh, ph, ew, oe, au, ey, a-e, i-e, o-e, u-e, e-e, and ‘y’ saying ‘eye’ and ‘o’ saying ‘u’. Please note: this pack uses Phase 5 tricky words as part of the comprehension passages, but does not aim to teach them. Please not: Alternative pronunciations are not covered in this pack. For each digraph there are: Flashcards Sentences to read - these build on the preceding digraphs, giving plenty of revision Differentiated worksheets: find the missing word, complete the sentences, write the word, etc… A reading passage including words from the newly introduced digraph These passages also introduce tricky words, as well as being truly systematic, never introducing words that have not yet been taught. This instills confidence in pupils. These passages make great ‘reading books’. Questions to answer about the passages Great for classwork, revision, assessment or homework! Fully differentiated, they meet the real needs of the average class and are fully systematic: no words are introduced for which the student has not yet learned the necessary skills to decode. They provide ample practice for students in both reading and spelling. Suitable for use with other schemes as long as you make sure that your children know the sounds necessary to complete the sheet. Copy, reduce, enlarge as much as you like. For spelling dictations to accompany this book of resources please see my Phase 5 Spelling Programme. Please see the book of Initial sounds Worksheets, the CVC/CVCC words Worksheets for Phases 2, early 3 and simple cvcc words in Phase 4 and the Phonic Worksheets for Phases 3 and 4.

These books can be coupled with my free spelling /writing programme which can be found at Reading Made Simple, to form a complete, FREE literacy programme.

It is easy enough for a parent to use and to help their child - many already do.

They only use the sight words: he, we, me, be, she, so, give, have, says. they, are The pictures are minimal and do not encourage guessing so meaning has to be gleaned from the text. Each book tells a simple story with humour where possible They have been tested on many children, including some with profound difficulties. Matching workbooks consolidate and revise learning. Vocabulary repeats so aiding reading fluency and building security and confidence. They are based on the latest research and evidence-based methods.

8 Phonics Worksheets FREE

(16)
Eight Free phonics worksheets, covering cvc words, cvcc words, ‘ck’, ‘ee’/‘oo’, ‘sh’, ‘ar’ and ‘or’ providing valuable back up work to lessons. Great assessment tools. Written for ages 5-6 but can also be used with older children requiring catchup help or those with special needs. These sheets are compatible with all phonics schemes, however as different schemes introduce sounds at different time, just check that your pupil knows all the necessary digraphs to complete the sheet. For example, the word ‘shark’ has both ‘sh’ and ‘ar’ and so both should have been learnt before expecting the child to read and spell this word.
