This is a pack of 12 ‘a-e’ split digraph, phonic worksheets, including flashcards and a phonic game. Theses worksheets were written for children who need a slower pace and more instruction but will equally suit the young child learning phonics. They can be used with any systematic phonic programme - including RWI, Jolly Phonics and Letters and Sounds, or Reading Made Simple. They are designed to be used as a workbook, but can be used individually as needed. They take the child from aurally hearing the new sound in word, to gradually reading and writing words with the ‘a-e’ sound. They particularly suit those with dyslexia, or suspected dyslexia, who have failed with other approaches to learning phonics. They are highly systematic, and have a limited amount on each page as young/special needs pupils tire easily. These ‘a-e’ phonic worksheets work on my ‘sound-it-out’ principal for special needs: See it! Sound-it-out! Write it! Thye utilise ‘sound-it-out’ boxes (Orton Gillingham style) to group sounds in each word to visually guide the pupil to sound out the new words. Lots of repetition builds confidence and success and culminates in the reading of two passages, with reading comprehension activities alongside.

These phonic ‘Learn to Write’ letter tracing sheets for Special needs children have been developed to accompany the learning of the initial sounds, to help the child who does not yet have the ability to write unaided begin to become familiar with letter shapes and correct letter formation. The physical act of writing letters while learning initial sounds is important because the movement of the hand to write, alongside seeing the letters and saying their sounds helps to make the learning process multi-sensory, which in turn ensures that more children, including those with special needs, become successful readers and writers. The sheets are placed in alphabetical order, but can be used in any order, according to the phonic scheme you are using. Do ensure that the child has plenty of free drawing practice alongside the use of these sheets so that the child develops sufficient pencil control to move on to independent writing.
