♦ Decodable ‘alien word’ slides (colour-coded and black).
♦ Animated, decodable ‘root word’ slides.
♦ A slide showing three levels of decodable words containing the ‘ss’ grapheme.
♦ A set of spelling pictures with a link to the words.
♦ Three ‘silly sentences’ containing lots of ‘ss’ words.
♦ An interactive ‘Real or Alien Word?’ quiz.
♦ An interactive ‘Which spelling is correct…?’ quiz.

Words are displayed in a pre-cursive font similar to that used in the Year 1 Phonics Check.
