Using the RWI sound card - this resource can be used to help children to recognise initial sounds, write the letters and say the sounds.
There are 26 different worksheets for every letter of the alphabet. Focussing on the lower case letter.
These useful RWI inspired stickers can be used when teaching Set 2 RWI sounds. They can be used as a reminder to the child and parent of what sound has been taught during that day. Plus a reward that can be given to each child to show that they have been successful during the lesson.
This product is also useful for the teacher or teaching assistant to see what sound each child had been learning during their phonic lesson, if they’d been to a different member of staff. It’s a quick visual prompt that can be used to test them throughout the day, and target during ‘pinny time’.
A great way to get children to talk is by giving them a phone. This resource goes brilliantly with a phone – so as well as getting children to talk, this one encourages them to recognise numbers and write messages.
The resource consists of three posters, with different characters and their numbers, along with a message template.
I suggest that when using this in continuous provision you place a play phone or a phone that no longer works to encourage them to be creative with their messages. Maybe get another child to pretend to phone them and leave a message.
