Two units from Make Phonics Fun Each topic within Make Phonics Fun is supported by a range of lively and appealing pupil text. The two units are based around the theme of starting school and the weather. Includes fiction/ non-fiction text, vocabularly words and activities based on the texts. Across the different genres, children are introduced through the fiction, non-fiction and poetry texts to a list of key words, enabling them to develop their decoding and blending skills. Real and pseudo words have been chosen to cover the grapheme-phoneme correspondences. Each topic is also supported by photocopiable, labelled picture scenes, providing visual cues for some of the key real and pseudo words to be tested. Care has been taken to ensure that the pictures representing the key pseudo words are of objects and items that are clearly meant to be imaginary. Leave a review.
