Having taught English as an Additional Language (EAL) for many years, I am only too aware of the challenges facing EAL students when doing phonic work. This includes the difficulties when trying to hear or distinguish between sounds and problems when trying to reproduce sounds because of only learning the sounds of their first languages. An additional hindrance to progress is that students are at times presented with phonic work resources without illustrations / pictures. In other phonic work resources, that do have illustrations, an additional barrier is that students sometimes have difficulty identifying items. For this reason, I have used photographs where possible, so that items/ people are easily identified. This booklet provides a combined approach of vocabulary building and teaching sounds through the use of cvc phonic words. There are worksheets and games which provide opportunities for developing reading, writing, speaking and listening skills. There are: • reference pages with words and pictures • cut and stick letters to make words • word completion worksheets for initial sound, middle sound, and complete word Activities include: • Picture and word matching • Sorting words on a chart • Snap cards with words • Dominoes • Board game • I have.. Who has..? game (48 cards) • Bingo games ( 15 picture base cards and 15 word base cards) All worksheets, activities and games are designed to introduce, teach and consolidate the targeted vocabulary. The targeted vocabulary contained in this book: Cat, hat, bat, mat, rat, van, man, pan, jar, jam, bag, cap, car, Hen, men, ten, pen, leg, net, peg, bed, Zip, six, bin, fin, fig, lid, pig, bib, kid, wig, pin, Dot, rod, box, fox, log, cot, Jug, sun, gun, nut, hut, bus, mug, cup, bun This is a printable book. As mentioned in the title, this resource is suitable for use with EAL / ESL / ELL students and native English speakers.
