The Pom Pom series offers a fun approach to creative writing for younger children (who have obtained some degree of reading fluency). Our books showcase two delightful dog characters, Pom Pom and her new friend, the Naughty Dog. In a series of four short books, our young readers enter their dog world and meet their people and their homes. They embark on a series of doggy adventures, empathising with the dogs. The books encourage the children to build on the stories by completing lots of fun writing activities and word games, including word searches and mazes. They are encouraged to search for answers to clues and complete stories by adding their own ideas. The Pom Pom series are not activity books, but they are educational material that stimulate children’s imagination and provide a light hearted approach to writing. They are supplementary writing activities which can be done to gain confidence in writing at any time in any place. These books are designed to be flexible. If your child is too young, or unable to fill it in themselves, why not discuss the answers and fill it in together. The books will help a child learn quite a lot about caring for dogs, if they do not already know. As well as this, the books explore feelings and emotions in our pets, such as anxiety separation. 119 pages

Learn To Read With Phonics (Bundle 1)

Learn To Read With Phonics (Bundle 1)

3 Resources
Learn To Read With Phonics Reading Packs are a quick and easy way to teach children to read in just six months. They are ideal for all ages (from 4 years plus), especially reluctant older readers of 7, 8, 9+, children with learning difficulties and children where English is a foreign language. The packs are designed to be used one to one or in small groups with a teacher and child or parent/guardian and child learning together. The packs consist of a structured course that build 44 phonic sounds into the text. As the children read the adventures of a loveable boy called Sam, they can have fun searching for hidden sounds. They will build up 44 sounds in total. This will enable them to read 80% of words in the English language, by breaking them down into sounds or syllables - pl ay ing. Children using phonics in this way progress fast. A series of stories, The Bouncing Castle and The Famous Cousin From The Country reinforce the complex middle sounds being learnt. By the end of the scheme, the child will be ready to progress to ‘solo’ reading books, such as Roald Dahl’s ‘Georges Marvellous Medicine’ and ‘Fantastic Mr Fox’. Many of the packs have cut out practice pages for matching words to pictures and phrases to pictures, to fix the sound words in the child’s memory. The simple text and fun colour sketches, appeal to young readers and have helped the authors to teach many, many children to read. The reading packs may be used in any order, just pick the pack for the sound you require. However, when using the packs for a complete non reader we suggest you start with packs teaching initial sounds (word building with three or four letter words). Then move on to learning phonic sounds in this order: ch, sh, wh, th, oo, ee, ar, or, ur, ir, er, magic e, ea, oa, ai, ay, oi, oy, oa, short y (as in happy), long y (as in sky), soft c (as in mice), soft g (as in engine), ou, ow, au and aw. Next, move onto more complex sounds as in, tion, le, el, ough, gue, que, ine, ue, ie, ei, prefixes and suffixes. How To Use Each pack introduces a sound. Learn the sound with the child/children Read the sentences or stories several times, encouraging the child/children to talk about the pictures. At the end of the sentences or story, there is a list of words and phrases, which the child can match to the pictures. Practise each sound several times, until the child is familiar with it.

At Guinea Pig Education, we want all children to have access to education, at this difficult time. Browse our website, to view our full range of educational resources.
