Exercises include: Trace, cut and stick words under pictures Trace, read and write words under pictures Read a set of words and circle the one that matches the picture Cut and stick: find the initial or final sound Write the initial and final sounds Activities working with rhymes Change a letter and make a new word Write the words under the pictures Fill in the vowel, read and stick pictures next to the correct words.

This is a pack of 12 ‘a-e’ split digraph, phonic worksheets, including flashcards and a phonic game. Theses worksheets 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 ‘a-e’ 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 ‘a-e’ 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. For more help, see Reading Made Simple, a 100% FREE systematic Reading and Writing programme for all ages and abilities. This book is one of a series.
