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.

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.
