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.

Highly Structured Phonic Programme for Intervention

Highly Structured Phonic Programme for Intervention

10 Resources
A series of highly structured phonics worksheets for special needs, currently covering the sounds: CK, OO, EE, AR and OR, A-E, I-E for any pupils of any age who need a slower pace and more in-depth study of a digraph, with each task broken into tiny manageable steps. Each pack contains 12 worksheets, intended to be worked through as a workbook but which can be used discretely. These sheets are intended to be used in a multisensory capacity so needed by special needs children, in which the child sees the sound/word, feels the sound with the mouth parts, and then writes it. See it! Sound-it-out! Write it! is my powerful 3-step process. My ‘sound-it-out’ boxes help to visually group wounds in words so guiding the pupils attention to the sounds to help them to sound out effectively. These structured worksheets take the pupil through the following stages: Hear the new sound in familiar words (to familiarise the child with the sound) Write the new sound (writing adds a multisensory dimension so needed by these pupils) Track the new sound in words (throughout) Write the new sounds Read words with the new sound Read longer passages Each pack includes a front cover to make a workbook and a page on which to write the given dictation passage on completion of the exercises. These packs were written originally for a ten-year-old pupil of mine who has severe processing difficulties. They will help those suspected of being, or diagnosed with, Dyslexia as well as with any other special need. This bundle is rapidly being added to.

Colour by Sound:  Beginning Sounds Phonics
lilibettelilibette

Colour by Sound: Beginning Sounds Phonics

(0)
A colouring page for every letter of the alphabet. Colour the things that begin with each sound. One object on each page (except A) starts with the previous initial sound. Can the child find it? Encourage neat colouring to aid pencil control. Correct phonic ‘i’ sound and ‘q’ written with ‘u’. I made these sheets for one of my pupils who is delayed in speech. He loved colouring and this was a way to motivate him. They helped him to successfully learn all 26 initial sounds. They can be used by all children and though suitable for use with all schemes, do progress in order - so if the phonic programme your child/ren is/are using does not follow the order of the alphabet, then maybe wait until all of the sounds have been taught. If you are teaching your own child, you may be interested in our totally FREE, phonic, reading and spelling programme, Reading Made Simple.
o or oo?  Phonic Game
lilibettelilibette

o or oo? Phonic Game

(0)
This is a listening game to help the child to hear the ‘oo’ sound in words, as different to the ‘o’ sound as some children have difficulty hearing the new ‘oo’ sound. One of my pupils has a speech delay. When I introduced him to ‘oo’, he tried to sound out the words saying ‘o’ instead of ‘oo’. It was as if ‘oo’ was a foreign sound to him. So, I devised this game to help him to hear the ‘oo’ sound in words he uses frequently in speech. After playing it a few times he is now happily sounding out to read and spell words with the ‘oo’ sound. This game uses only the ‘oo’ sound as heard in ‘moon’.

Phonic Flashcards

Phonic Flashcards

(0)
Here is a pack of flashcards to help in the teaching of phonics. Start by teaching the initial sounds, then practice the five vowels especially as you start to build CVC/CCVC/CVCC words with a short vowel, then introduce the most common digraphs: ck, oo, ee sh, ch, th ng, or, ar, a-e, i-e, o-e, u-e, ai,ea, oa, igh, ir, ay, ou, aw, oi, ur, al, er, y, ow, ew and oy. More more help in using them see: https://readingmadesimple.weebly.com/level-1-teaching-notes.html See also the Reading Made Simple digraphs reading books: fully systematic, containing words that can be sounded using previously taught digraphs and only introducing key, non-phonic vocabulary slowly. These books restore confidence to readers who have failed with other reading programmes. https://readingmadesimple.weebly.com/level-1-reading-books.html
CVC Words Read, Match and Spell
lilibettelilibette

CVC Words Read, Match and Spell

(0)
Read Match and Spell is an activity to help children to read (sound out), find a matching picture and then spell CVC words with a short vowel sound using magnetic letters. Great for Literacy centers, or for group/individual work Great for EYFS/Early Intervention/Special Needs You can use this Read, Match and Spell activity as a worksheet and let the child copy the word + picture and write the letters in the boxes, but I prefer to use the picture and word cards. This makes the activity more fun and stress-free. Included are 6 words and pictures for each short vowel sound. Print as many baseboards as you require. Start by limiting the child to words and pictures from one vowel sound, and as confidence grows, extend the choice to other vowel sounds. You can target the ones the child needs the most practice with. I made it for a pupil who lacks confidence: by having the word already in front of him he felt safe to sound the word out to spell it. The activity acted as a bridge to him being able to spell CVC words by himself. In addition, the picture served as a reward for having correctly sounded out the word. .
