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.

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.

AR Digraph Phonic Game Phase 2
lilibettelilibette

AR Digraph Phonic Game Phase 2

(0)
Here is a simple ‘ar’ phonic game which I made to help my struggling readers. It is easy, fun and if nothing else, your pupil will forget his/her difficulty with reading while playing this game with either an adult or another child. Full instructions are given. Two editions are provided: black and white or coloured. Why not let the pupil make his/her own game by colouring the black and white pictures? This will make it his, or her game - personal - while linking all 18 words in the game in the child’s mind to the ‘ar’ family - so important for spelling. This is a simple game for either 2 or 3 players. If playing with other children, the teacher should watch closely to ensure that the children are sounding the words out correctly. Use as a discrete form of assessment: is the pupil using knowledge of letter sounds - or GUESSING which will lead to failure?Timely intervention now can prevent much trouble later on. Let your pupils have fun learning ‘ar’! Why not send it home for homework? Can be used with any programme including Letters and Sounds Phases 3 + 4

CCVC words Phonic Reading Books for Special Needs

(0)
Here are 12, FREE to download, phonic reading books to support the blending of CCVC words with a short vowel sound, for the very earliest stages of learning to read with phonics. Suitable for use with all phonic programmes. The focus is purely on sounding out with only the key words ** I, and go, to** being gradually introduced. Pictures are minimal to encourage the child to gain meaning from the text and not to guess. Phonic words are introduced and then met again in subsequent readers, to help develop confidence and fluency. The stories are based around farmer Tom with his animals, his wife, his son Sam and daughter, Pam, dog Jiff and the cat. Highly suitable for special needs children who have failed with other programmes. Many parents have told me they wished they had found these books sooner, or had found them at all, as they would have been ideal for their struggling reader. They have been thoroughly tested by my current pupils all of whom are boys. Even my nine-year old boy pupil loves them. He is just so glad to be able to read.

o or oo?  Phonic Game
lilibettelilibette

o or oo? Phonic Game

(0)
This is a listening game to help the child to hear the ‘oo’ sound in words, as different to the ‘o’ sound as some children have difficulty hearing the new ‘oo’ sound. One of my pupils has a speech delay. When I introduced him to ‘oo’, he tried to sound out the words saying ‘o’ instead of ‘oo’. It was as if ‘oo’ was a foreign sound to him. So, I devised this game to help him to hear the ‘oo’ 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 ‘oo’ sound. This game uses only the ‘oo’ sound as heard in ‘moon’.

CVC Words Read, Match and Spell
lilibettelilibette

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. .
