Raising standards in KS1 and Special Needs: helping every child to succeed. I have taught systematic phonics to all ages and abilities for over 30 years. My teaching degree was in Environmental Studies and I hate to see science reduced to box-ticking when there is so much to discover about the wonderful world we live in. So, I produce Phonic resources that meet the real needs of children and teachers, along with science resources to engage children in learning about the natural world.

CVC Words Read, Match and Spell

CVC Words Read, Match and Spell

(0)
Read Match and Spell is an activity to help children to read (sound out), find a matching picture and then spell CVC words with a short vowel sound using magnetic letters. Great for Literacy centers, or for group/individual work Great for EYFS/Early Intervention/Special Needs You can use this Read, Match and Spell activity as a worksheet and let the child copy the word + picture and write the letters in the boxes, but I prefer to use the picture and word cards. This makes the activity more fun and stress-free. Included are 6 words and pictures for each short vowel sound. Print as many baseboards as you require. Start by limiting the child to words and pictures from one vowel sound, and as confidence grows, extend the choice to other vowel sounds. You can target the ones the child needs the most practice with. I made it for a pupil who lacks confidence: by having the word already in front of him he felt safe to sound the word out to spell it. The activity acted as a bridge to him being able to spell CVC words by himself. In addition, the picture served as a reward for having correctly sounded out the word. .
Final Sounds Phonic Game

Final Sounds Phonic Game

(0)
A pack of two super fun games to help children learn to hear the final sound of words, so vital for spelling with phonics. The games cover the final sounds: t,d, k, g, p, b, n, m and s. They can also be used for speech therapy giving practice in like sounds: d/t/, k/g/ and p/b with which some children struggle. Children from EYFS to teens with sepecial needs will enjoy playing these games! Some children need a little extra practice to hear the final sounds of words, and a game takes the tedium out of learning! Children will want to play these games again and again and you can change the sound each time. Nine sounds with 63 picture cards and two boards to choose from means the child will not get bored Build a Castle, Win the Race: you choose! You can even change the fun level by adding in extra/missed turns - but play it simply first. The games can be for up to 4 players, though it is recommended that each player plays first with an adult until s/he has begun to hear the final sound. Full instructions are given. Both games come in either colour or ink-saving black and white. I made these games to help a ten-yr-old reluctant pupil to hear the final sounds of words. It won him round and now he is an expert! I hope they help you too!
Highly Structured Phonic Programme for Intervention

Highly Structured Phonic Programme for Intervention

10 Resources
A series of highly structured phonics worksheets for special needs, currently covering the sounds: CK, OO, EE, AR and OR, A-E, I-E for any pupils of any age who need a slower pace and more in-depth study of a digraph, with each task broken into tiny manageable steps. Each pack contains 12 worksheets, intended to be worked through as a workbook but which can be used discretely. These sheets are intended to be used in a multisensory capacity so needed by special needs children, in which the child sees the sound/word, feels the sound with the mouth parts, and then writes it. See it! Sound-it-out! Write it! is my powerful 3-step process. My ‘sound-it-out’ boxes help to visually group wounds in words so guiding the pupils attention to the sounds to help them to sound out effectively. These structured worksheets take the pupil through the following stages: Hear the new sound in familiar words (to familiarise the child with the sound) Write the new sound (writing adds a multisensory dimension so needed by these pupils) Track the new sound in words (throughout) Write the new sounds Read words with the new sound Read longer passages Each pack includes a front cover to make a workbook and a page on which to write the given dictation passage on completion of the exercises. These packs were written originally for a ten-year-old pupil of mine who has severe processing difficulties. They will help those suspected of being, or diagnosed with, Dyslexia as well as with any other special need. This bundle is rapidly being added to.
AR Phonic Worksheets
lilibettelilibette

AR Phonic Worksheets

(0)
This is a pack of 12 ‘ar’ digraph, phonic worksheets. They 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 ‘ar’ 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 ‘ar’ 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.

Colour by Sound:  Beginning Sounds Phonics
lilibettelilibette

Colour by Sound: Beginning Sounds Phonics

(0)
A colouring page for every letter of the alphabet. Colour the things that begin with each sound. One object on each page (except A) starts with the previous initial sound. Can the child find it? Encourage neat colouring to aid pencil control. Correct phonic ‘i’ sound and ‘q’ written with ‘u’. I made these sheets for one of my pupils who is delayed in speech. He loved colouring and this was a way to motivate him. They helped him to successfully learn all 26 initial sounds. They can be used by all children and though suitable for use with all schemes, do progress in order - so if the phonic programme your child/ren is/are using does not follow the order of the alphabet, then maybe wait until all of the sounds have been taught. If you are teaching your own child, you may be interested in our totally FREE, phonic, reading and spelling programme, Reading Made Simple.

Initial Sounds 'Reading' Books

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.

e or ee? Phonic game
lilibettelilibette

e or ee? Phonic game

(0)
This is a listening game to help the child to hear the ‘ee’ sound in words, as different to the ‘e’ sound as some children have difficulty hearing the new ee’ sound as their brain is trying to say 'e. One of my pupils has a speech delay. When I introduced him to ‘ee’, he tried to sound out the words saying ‘e’ instead of ‘ee’. It was as if ‘ee’ was a foreign sound to him. So, I devised this game to help him to hear the ‘ee’ sound in words he uses frequently in speech. After playing it a few times he is now happily sounding out to read and spell words with the ‘ee’ sound. In addition it helps the pupil to understand that the sound ‘e’ does not change as some children will start to say ‘ee’ every time they see ‘e’.
