Learn consonant digraphs ch, sh, th and vowel digraphs oo, ee. Read the sentences and match the words/phrases to the pictures. Learn To Read With Phonics Reading Packs are a quick and easy way to teach children to read in just six months. They are ideal for all ages (from 4 years plus), especially reluctant older readers of 7, 8, 9+, children with learning difficulties and children where English is a foreign language. The packs are designed to be used one to one or in small groups with a teacher and child or parent/guardian and child learning together. The packs consist of a structured course that build 44 phonic sounds into the text. As the children read the adventures of a loveable boy called Sam, they can have fun searching for hidden sounds. They will build up 44 sounds in total. This will enable them to read 80% of words in the English language, by breaking them down into sounds or syllables - pl ay ing. Children using phonics in this way progress fast. A series of stories, The Bouncing Castle and The Famous Cousin From The Country reinforce the complex middle sounds being learnt. By the end of the scheme, the child will be ready to progress to ‘solo’ reading books, such as Roald Dahl’s ‘Georges Marvellous Medicine’ and ‘Fantastic Mr Fox’. Many of the packs have cut out practice pages for matching words to pictures and phrases to pictures, to fix the sound words in the child’s memory. The simple text and fun colour in sketches, appeal to young readers and have helped the authors to teach many, many children to read. The reading packs may be used in any order, just pick the pack for the sound you require. However, when using the packs for a complete non reader we suggest you start with packs teaching initial sounds (word building with three or four letter words). Then move on to learning phonic sounds in this order: ch, sh, wh, th, oo, ee, ar, or, ur, ir, er, magic e, ea, oa, ai, ay, oi, oy, oa, short y (as in happy), long y (as in sky), soft c (as in mice), soft g (as in engine), ou, ow, au and aw. Next, move onto more complex sounds as in, tion, le, el, ough, gue, que, ine, ue, ie, ei, prefixes and suffixes. How To Use Each pack introduces a sound. Learn the sound with the child/children Read the sentences or stories several times, encouraging the child/children to talk about the pictures. At the end of the sentences or story, there is a list of words and phrases, which the child can match to the pictures. Get the child/children to colour in the pictures. Practise each sound several times, until the child is familiar with it.

If you have enjoyed reading our adapted version of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, why not have a go at answering the questions to see how much you have remembered. There are some pictures to colour too. It is never too early to practise comprehension skills to see if your children have understood what they have read and to develop their skills of analysis. So, we have put together a series of questions to help your children do just that. In fact, there are three types of questions, those that require the child to retrieve, or find facts that are hiding in the texts; those that ask the child to give a logical explanation of what they have observed. This means the child will need to form his or her own opinion, deduce, or infer, what is implied in the text. Some questions require the child to understand phrases or vocabulary used. Younger children can just call out the answers, while older children can work through the pages to test their comprehension skills. Includes answers. 90 pages. Age 6-10

Follow up creative writing activities based on the book Park Lane School Presents… The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. This story is written by a primary school teacher and based on a real play performed by a class of 9 year olds. Sam, the central character, is a real pupil from Class 4. Sam loves drama and would like to see himself in a star acting part, but when it comes to the casting, he gets nervous and freezes in the audition. His teacher assesses that he will be more comfortable with a small part and a technical role backstage - which Sam reluctantly accepts. Through Sam, we experience all the feelings of excitement as the class work together on the play, preparing props and costumes. We experience the euphoria of the first night and that temptation for a child to peep out from behind the stage curtain to wave at mum and dad. Children will empathise with Sam, with his feelings of excitement, disappointment, anxiety, envy and so on. These are emotions and feelings they will have experienced. This opens up an opportunity for feedback. In addition to this, children can try and imagine how parents feel and how the teachers feel. In this pack, we have put together some questions and writing exercises that will give your child the chance to explore their own experiences and feelings. Colour in the pictures.
