The Missing Marble - Phonetics Adventure Workbook

Using The Missing Marble story and AI, I’ve designed a series of six playful phonics worksheets following Jack, Ben and the shiny blue marble.

The activities progress from recognising sounds to blending, segmenting, reading and writing simple words, with a little story comprehension woven in.
