Please note: this pack uses Phase 5 tricky words as part of the comprehension passages, but does not aim to teach them. Please not: Alternative pronunciations are not covered in this pack. For each digraph there are: Flashcards Sentences to read - these build on the preceding digraphs, giving plenty of revision Differentiated worksheets: find the missing word, complete the sentences, write the word, etc… A reading passage including words from the newly introduced digraph These passages also introduce tricky words, as well as being truly systematic, never introducing words that have not yet been taught. This instills confidence in pupils. These passages make great ‘reading books’. Questions to answer about the passages Great for classwork, revision, assessment or homework! Fully differentiated, they meet the real needs of the average class and are fully systematic: no words are introduced for which the student has not yet learned the necessary skills to decode. They provide ample practice for students in both reading and spelling. Suitable for use with other schemes as long as you make sure that your children know the sounds necessary to complete the sheet. Copy, reduce, enlarge as much as you like. For spelling dictations to accompany this book of resources please see my Phase 5 Spelling Programme.

Number Sequencing Rhyme  0 to 5: Interactive PowerPoint

Number Sequencing Rhyme 0 to 5: Interactive PowerPoint

(0)
A fun interactive bird-counting rhyme in interactive Power Point form, to learn numbers and 1:1 correspondence: One little bird in the sky so blue, along came another and that made two etc… Click to reveal numbers, and add one more and count again. I enjoyed making this Power Point for a speech delayed 8yr old child who is having trouble grasping 1:1 correspondence and I am working with him to help him to understand the worth of ‘1’ and the effect of adding ‘1 more’. There is no sound (other than chimes on the practice slides), allowing the teacher/parent to give the child as much time as needed to respond. Full narration is given. It can of course be used by others of younger and older ages - but it has a more grown up feel than that provided by early counting rhymes. I hope it will be helpful to others.
Phase 5 spelling programme Letters and Sounds: Suitable for home-learning

Phase 5 spelling programme Letters and Sounds: Suitable for home-learning

(0)
A simple but effective spelling programme for Phase 5 of Letters and Sounds teaching the new graphemes. Help children become good spellers, and help struggling readers and spellers make progress. Take one sound a week, study the word list and practice the new sound and the following week do a dictation for that sound. It is that SIMPLE! Just a few minutes a day for 16 weeks! This programme works because: Each sound is studied for a whole week. This gives time for the new knowledge to be assimilated - time that the middle to lower ability groups desperately need to succeed and for whom most programmes go way too fast. The child is NEVER asked to spell a word that has not yet been systematically taught. This develops confidence and works for ALL children regardless of ability. The programme is** truly systematic**. Each dictation builds on the one before and is carefully worked out to revise the sounds. There is no SPELLING TEST that the child can fail - the dictation is the test, while also teaching children to apply their new knowledge. The child finds his/her own errors and corrects them by using phonics. It WORKS! Can be used with a whole class (where appropriate) or groups, or even individually by special needs teachers or TA’s. Note: Progress is dependent on the quality of teaching. Please ensure children can spell confidently words with the Phase 4 sounds before starting this programme. Worksheets to go with this programme can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/phonic-worksheets-for-phase-5-of-letters-and-sounds-12456406

FR Consonant Blend PowerPoint

FR Consonant Blend PowerPoint

(0)
A fun, animated PowerPoint to introduce children to the consonant blends FR featuring the lovable character, Freddy Frog! As you tell the story, which is written under each slide for use in Presentation Mode or on the accompanying PDF, stretch out the key words containing the focus blend: FRRReddy FRRRog to help children hear the blend. At the end of the story, 2 slides help you to teach the children to blend the two sounds together to make the blend and then further slides encourage the children to help you to retell the story as you highlight the key words containing each blend. The PowerPoint ends with an interactive puzzle: can the children tell you which things begin with the blend FR? Watch the pictures spin if correct and disappear if incorrect! An FR worksheet is included for follow up. Close your lesson with a plenary session, reviewing the key words containing the FR blend. Suitabel for all pupils, but written to help a disallusioned 8-yr-old who had already failed to read despite 2 phonic programmes, I needed a way to get his attention. It worked and he loved these simple PowerPoint presentations and was soon reading and spelling words with consonant blends. Suitable for distance/on-line learning, in school, at home and for home education.

a-e Split Digraph Phonic Worksheets and GAME

(0)
This is a pack of 12 ‘a-e’ split digraph, phonic worksheets, including flashcards and a phonic game. Theses worksheets were written for children who need a slower pace and more instruction but will equally suit the young child learning phonics. They can be used with any systematic phonic programme - including RWI, Jolly Phonics and Letters and Sounds, or Reading Made Simple. They are designed to be used as a workbook, but can be used individually as needed. They take the child from aurally hearing the new sound in word, to gradually reading and writing words with the ‘a-e’ sound. They particularly suit those with dyslexia, or suspected dyslexia, who have failed with other approaches to learning phonics. They are highly systematic, and have a limited amount on each page as young/special needs pupils tire easily. These ‘a-e’ phonic worksheets work on my ‘sound-it-out’ principal for special needs: See it! Sound-it-out! Write it! Thye utilise ‘sound-it-out’ boxes (Orton Gillingham style) to group sounds in each word to visually guide the pupil to sound out the new words. Lots of repetition builds confidence and success and culminates in the reading of two passages, with reading comprehension activities alongside.

Exercises include: Trace, cut and stick words under pictures Trace, read and write words under pictures Read a set of words and circle the one that matches the picture Cut and stick: find the initial or final sound Write the initial and final sounds Activities working with rhymes Change a letter and make a new word Write the words under the pictures Fill in the vowel, read and stick pictures next to the correct words.

Initial Sounds 'Reading' Books

(0)
First reading books for those just learning the initial sounds with an Initial Sounds workbook to reinforce learning. Say the letter name and/or sound Trace the letter Find the things that begin with that sound These Initial Sounds reading books can be used in two ways: You can look at each letter as it is introduced and use the page as part of the lesson for that sound. You can wait until all of the sounds in each book have been taught and use it for revision. I prefer this last way, as when the child has learned 5 sounds, s/he will be so glad to recognise the sounds that have been taught in the book and it will give him/her a real confidence boost and a feeling of success. Try it and see for yourself. As you present each book, make it a moment to mark progress. “Now you have learned some more letters, you can read this book!” These books can be followed with our popular CVC Words reading books: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12636791 For more help teaching phonics, please see Reading Made Simple, a 100% free phonic reading and spelling programme, written by two teachers with many years experience teaching children to read, especially those with special needs.
