<p>I am designing a series of phonics books intended to help children learn to read. At the moment, I am building up the resource bank from phase 2, but I intend to include some phase 1 resources in the future.<br /> The series is designed to be simple and focused on introducing one new sound or tricky word at a time in order to avoid overwhelming an emerging reader, which I believe a lot of currently available phonics books do, e.g. “pink” level books containing multi-syllable words.<br /> Through its accessibility, I believe this series will be more effective and efficient at improving children’s reading skills.</p> <p>This second book in the series re-visits the sounds “s”, “a”, “t”, “p”, “i” and introduces the sound “n”.</p> <p>The book includes 14 activities ranging from initial sound recognition, handwriting practice and upper- and lowercase letters to putting single sounds together into syllables and words to read and write.</p> <p>Please leave an honest review, so that I can improve this product.</p>

This way the series can be used for intervention purposes as well as practising specific skills.</p> <p>I have decided to split the “i” sound between two books (a and b) to maintain the “one new thing at a time” approach. Book A only covers single words, whereas Book B introduces phrases and sentences for the first time.</p> <p>The book includes 10 activities ranging from reading syllables to reading short phrase captions, writing short phrases and beginning to use some sentence punctuation.</p> <p>Please leave an honest review, so that I can improve this product.</p>

<p>This is a worksheet based on Julia Donaldson’s “What the Ladybird heard” with 12 tasks similar in style to those that children encounter in SATs papers. There are questions about the characters, the events, the grammar (parts of speech), the lesson the story teaches, but there is also a drawing task and an extra challenge task where children can practise expressing themselves and their own opinions as well as practise writing. Types of tasks include: multiple choice, open-ended, matching, true/false.</p> <p>There is an answer sheet an adult (teacher or parent) can use and a colouring page - children earn a “ladybird’s spot” for each mark and can colour the spots in.</p> <p>I have piloted this worksheet with children aged 6-7. The children enjoyed it, but some will need support if they are not yet confident readers.</p> <p>Please leave a review if you can, as this is a new account and I would like people to know what the resources are like.</p>
