Use Sentence Maker With Words That Include Initial & Final Consonant Blends (3+)

(0)
Use the sentence maker to make sentences with words that include initial and final consonant blends. (3 years +) How To Use The Pre Reader Work Packs At Guinea Pig Education we believe children do not need to spend years learning reading skills; this innovative new scheme teaches children to read in just six months to a year. A non reader should start with our pre reading material. The Pre reader work packs use phonics or the sounds in words. The child can learn a series of phonic sounds, which give him or her a ‘tool’ to work out nearly 80% of words in the English language. The other 20% of words will be learnt by looking and saying the words. In these packs, the child (or group of children) will be taught to recognise initial sounds as in ‘b’, ‘d’ and vowel sounds as in ‘a’ - c…a…t. They will practise running sounds together to make words. The sentence maker will help him or her to organise the words into sentences. The packs are easy to use with clear instructions, for the adult to use with a child (or group of children). The structured material encourages the child to practise word building and sentence making using phonic sounds. To make learning a really fun experience, the material contains word games, like snap and bingo. The child (children) can move on when the adult is confident the sounds have been learnt. Learn To Read With Phonics Pre Reader packs are designed to start children reading who have not done any reading before. They are a starting point for learning to read with phonics. Children can start at three or four, if they are ready to concentrate. The Pre Reader packs introduce the 26 sounds of the alphabet, the skills of sounding out words with phonics and blending phonic sounds to make three and four letter words. The child (children) should practise the material each day and move on only when the child is familiar with the material. The course is structured. Each new sound builds on the one that went before. Tell the child (children) to personalise the drawings, adding to them, using their own ideas. Play the games. Repeat the exercises many times until they know the words. They should have fun learning to read.

Schools out! Teachers and parents…Be prepared for SCHOOLING AT HOME. As teachers with many years experience, we have assembled some home learning packs that children will enjoy working through at home, independently or with an adult. There is a pack available for every age and year group. Age ranges are based on the ability of the average child in a year group. If your child is working at a higher or lower ability, in comparison to their age, you may need to go up or down a scheme. All resources are available for immediate download. Simply, print each activity out on paper, using your home printer and your child can immediately start working. They can work at their own pace. Activities for younger children, could be laminated and filled out with washable felt tip pens. The resources included in each pack of work are designed to keep children busy for approximately a month. We hope that our packs will help children progress and compensate for any loss of schooling, that may arise. Our home learning packs are very good value and they are heavily discounted, with at least 50% off RRP. At Guinea Pig Education, we want all children to have access to education, at this difficult time. This bundle of resources are for children who are 5-6 years. Children who are learning to read four letter words, such as, snap. Contains 300 pages approx Browse our website, to view our full range of educational resources.
