A simple but effective spelling programme for Phase 5 of Letters and Sounds teaching the new graphemes. Help children become good spellers, and help struggling readers and spellers make progress. Take one sound a week, study the word list and practice the new sound and the following week do a dictation for that sound. It is that SIMPLE! Just a few minutes a day for 16 weeks! This programme works because: Each sound is studied for a whole week. This gives time for the new knowledge to be assimilated - time that the middle to lower ability groups desperately need to succeed and for whom most programmes go way too fast. The child is NEVER asked to spell a word that has not yet been systematically taught. This develops confidence and works for ALL children regardless of ability. The programme is** truly systematic**. Each dictation builds on the one before and is carefully worked out to revise the sounds. There is no SPELLING TEST that the child can fail - the dictation is the test, while also teaching children to apply their new knowledge. The child finds his/her own errors and corrects them by using phonics. It WORKS! Can be used with a whole class (where appropriate) or groups, or even individually by special needs teachers or TA’s. Note: Progress is dependent on the quality of teaching. Please ensure children can spell confidently words with the Phase 4 sounds before starting this programme. Worksheets to go with this programme can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/phonic-worksheets-for-phase-5-of-letters-and-sounds-12456406
