These phonic ‘Learn to Write’ letter tracing sheets for Special needs children have been developed to accompany the learning of the initial sounds, to help the child who does not yet have the ability to write unaided begin to become familiar with letter shapes and correct letter formation. The physical act of writing letters while learning initial sounds is important because the movement of the hand to write, alongside seeing the letters and saying their sounds helps to make the learning process multi-sensory, which in turn ensures that more children, including those with special needs, become successful readers and writers. The sheets are placed in alphabetical order, but can be used in any order, according to the phonic scheme you are using. Do ensure that the child has plenty of free drawing practice alongside the use of these sheets so that the child develops sufficient pencil control to move on to independent writing.

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.

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
