Rocket Says Clean Up - by Nathan Bryon

(0)
A collection of 15 activities designed to accompany a book study on Nathan Bryon’s Rocket Says Clean Up. This unit is perfect if you are looking to study books which have more representative and culturally diverse main characters. I will be following this unit up soon with another couple of linked units of work on two inspirational women who would be perfect to study for Black History Month: Imani Wilmot (Jamaican female surfer) and a unit of work on MaVynee Betsch (aka The Beach Lady) whose grandfather founded American Beach, and who campaigned tirelessly for conservation efforts. Featuring a variety of reading and whole story activities, word-level activities, and text writing activities, as detailed below: Section 1: Prediction Adult Instructions Prediction Sheet Section 2: Sequence Differentiated Sequencing Sheets (8, 6 and 4 parts) Section 3: Reading Comprehension Differentiated Reading Comprehension (written and tick the box) Section 4: True or False True or False Activity Section 5: Rocket Character Profile Character Profile Sheet Section 6: Character Traits Antonyms with Prefixes and Suffixes Section 7: Spelling Dictation Frequently misspelled words dictation (differentiated) Section 8: Alphabetic Order Differentiated alphabetical ordering Section 9: Syllables Syllable Clap and Count Syllable Cube Count Section 10: Vocabulary Draw and write the meaning activity Section 11: Cause and Effect Picture clue and write a sentence about the effect Section 12: Retell Lined, bordered paper for retelling Section 13: Postcard Home Postcard template Section 14: Keep It Clean Poster Poster template Section 15: Newspaper Report Newspaper template Please note, this unit is not inclusive of planning, nor does it include the book. It is a set of resources designed for you to teach to / pitch to as you see fit.
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 Letters & Sounds Phonics Clip Cards Bundle

9 Resources
UK Phonics Based Reading Comprehension following Letters and Sounds Phase 4. Help your kids gain confidence and fluency with Phase 4 Blends and Clusters with this fun, interactive clothes peg clip card set. This is perfect as a small group or independent activity in your Reception or Year 1 Settings (Kindergarden and Grade 1), or for use with children with Special Educational Needs. I created this resource after searching for something similar to suit my own UK learners: 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. This bundle contains the following: · Initial Blends with L – bl, cl, fl, gl, pl, sl · Initial Blends with R – br, cr, dr, fr, gr, tr · Other Initial Blends – sc, sk, sm, sn, sp, st, sw, tw · Final Blends 1 – ft, lb, lf, lk, lp, lt, nt · Final Blends 2 - mp, nk · Final Blends 3 – nd, pt, sk, st, xt · Three Letter Blends – Initial scr, shr, spr, str, thr & final nch · Compound Words · Polysyllabic Words Each of the above packs are available individually, too, and contain 20 colour cards and 20 black and white versions. In total, that makes 180 colour cards and 180 black and white copies in this bundle! If you download and use this resource, I’d love it if you could take the time to leave a review.

I created this resource after searching for (and failing to find) something similar to suit my own learners. 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.

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, such as Little Wandle or similar. 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.
