Sound Button Fonts for Phonics

Sound Button Fonts for Phonics

(0)
This pair of fonts (Soundbuttondots & Soundbuttondashes) allow you to add dots or dashes to your writing to represent sound buttons underneath single sounds, digraphs and trigraphs. There are even special characters included to replicate the sound buttons needed to show the connection between split digraphs. Full disclosure - this is not a perfect ‘does the job for you without you having to think’ kind of font. I don’t have the technology to make the fonts do ligatures and automatically underline digraphs and trigraphs, but I have tried to make it as seamless and easy as I can. By switching between the two fonts, you can choose which letters have dots underneath and which have dashes (the spacing on the dashed letters is already condensed so the dashes form a continuous line), and you can insert special characters (or use the corresponding symbols) to add arrows for split digraphs. WATCH THE VIDEO TO SEE HOW, plus full written instructions included in the pack. To my mind, this font certainly beats printing out a regular copy of work and manually adding all the sound buttons in a black pen, or trying to add dot and dash clipart underneath! We’ve all been there!

Phase 4 Phonics Comprehensions - UPDATED AGAIN - 12 Texts
Education_Learning_and_WorkEducation_Learning_and_Work

Phase 4 Phonics Comprehensions - UPDATED AGAIN - 12 Texts

(0)
I created this resource after searching for (and failing to find) something similar to suit my own UK learners. The original bundle of just 6 texts has now grown for a second time to 12 texts. I think it’s now finalised, but it still could grown again if I get struck by inspiration. All progression / structure within the document is taken from UK Government Publication “Letters and Sounds”, which organises children’s exposure to new phonemes in Phases and Sets. The document here follows this as closely as possible. Great to stretch and challenge children in Reception who have a solid application of their phonics and / or for children in Year 1 and 2 who still need to practise accessing fully decodable texts. Suits Ofsted’s renewed focus on children reading full decodable texts, matched to phonics knowledge. If you download and use this resource, I’d love it if you could take the time to leave a review.
Phase 5 Letters and Sounds Phonics Comprehension -  BUNDLE 29 texts
Education_Learning_and_WorkEducation_Learning_and_Work

Phase 5 Letters and Sounds Phonics Comprehension - BUNDLE 29 texts

(1)
I created this resource after searching for (and failing to find) something similar to suit my own UK learners. The current bundle is for 29 texts, but this is not the complete set yet. If you buy now at this price, all future updates can be re-downloaded for free within your license price. The texts have coverage for: ‘ay’ saying /ai/ ‘oy’ saying /oi/ ‘ie’ saying /igh/ ‘ea’ saying /ee/ ‘a_e’ saying /ai/ ‘e_e’ saying /ee/ ‘i_e’ saying /igh/ ‘o_e’ saying /oa/ ‘u_e’ saying /oo/ or /yoo/ ‘ou’ saying /ow/ long vowels a, e, i o u ‘ue’ saying /oo/ or /yoo/ ‘ew’ saying /oo/ or /yoo/ ‘aw’ saying /or/ ‘au’ saying /or/ ‘ow’ saying /oa/ ‘oe’ saying /oa/ ‘wh’ saying /w/ ‘ph’ saying /f/ ‘c’ saying /s/ & ‘g’ saying /j/ ‘ea’ saying /e/ ‘ie’ saying /ee/ ‘ch’ saying /sh/ & /c/ ‘y’ saying /ee/ ‘tch’ saying /ch/ ‘ear’ and ‘are’ saying /air/ unspoken ‘e’ ‘ore’ saying /or/ All progression / structure within the document is taken from UK Government Publication “Letters and Sounds”, which organises children’s exposure to new phonemes in Phases and Sets, and also ventures into some of the National Curriculum Spelling Patterns. The order of sounds within this document is designed to be progressive, such that one text builds on the next. Although these materials are independent and unendorsed, they could easily be used to support learners on many validated schemes which use Letters and Sounds as their basis. Great to stretch and challenge children in Year 1 who have a solid application of their phonics and / or for children in Year 2 and 3 who still need to practise accessing fully decodable texts. Suits Ofsted’s renewed focus on children reading full decodable texts, matched to phonics knowledge. If you download and use this resource, I’d love it if you could take the time to leave a review.

MaVynee Betsch - "Rocket Says Clean Up" / "Saving American Beach" Follow On Unit

(0)
MaVynee Betsch led a full, intriguing and varied life. Most famed for her conservationism and activism, she spent her later life educating others on race and the environment. She makes for an excellent and inspirational figure to study, and can be included as part of Black History Month to ensure children know that history is being made even now. It should also link nicely with Saving American Beach (published April 2021). This unit was designed to follow on from my “Rocket Says Clean Up” unit, but can equally stand alone. Allowing for time for editing and revision on longer pieces of work, plus the inclusion of some Early Finishers activities, this unit could easily last you 2 weeks. It includes: Biographical Information PowerPoint (as PDF) A PDF of 12 different resources: Section 1: Research Links A selection of useful websites for TEACHERS Section 2: Biography Biography Writing Sheet Section 3: American Beach Flyer Poster Template Section 4: Endangered Animal Research Research sheet / prompt 3 pages to make a booklet Section 5: Eco Friendly Choices Yes or no choices with key Section 6: Acrostic Poem 2 x Acrostic templates Section 7: True or False True or false questions about MaVynee’s life Section 8: Reading Comprehension 3-way differentiated texts and questions Section 9: Vocabulary Draw and write the meaning activity Section 10: Cryptogram Crack the code to solve the message Section 11: Wordsearch Wordsearch and answers Section 12: Crossword Crossword and answers Section 13: Colouring Sheets 3 line drawing portraits of MaVynee This unit does not include planning.
