This is a pack of 12 ‘or’ digraph, phonic worksheets. These ‘OR’ Phonic Worksheets can be used with very young children, although I made them for children who have processing difficulties and need more systematic teaching. They are: highly systematic have a limited amount on each page as these pupils tire easily. Pupils should be confident blending with consonant blends (Phase 4 Letters and Sounds for example) and know the digraph AR. I use ‘Sound-it-out boxes’ for new words, where digraphs are grouped together to give the child the visual reminder to make one sound. The worksheets include activities to: Develop blending and segmenting Give needed repetition to to develop word recognition Develop phonemic awareness - much needed by early learners Tracking activities - to see and recognise the new sound in words Comprehension activities Writing practice Reading of longer passages Fluency triangles Lots of repetition builds confidence and success! Help a struggling reader today. You will find it hard to find such a comprehensive programme of systematic phonic instruction for a special needs child for such a price. This is one of a series.

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

A fun, animated PowerPoint to introduce children to the consonant blends FR featuring the lovable character, Freddy Frog! As you tell the story, which is written under each slide for use in Presentation Mode or on the accompanying PDF, stretch out the key words containing the focus blend: FRRReddy FRRRog to help children hear the blend. At the end of the story, 2 slides help you to teach the children to blend the two sounds together to make the blend and then further slides encourage the children to help you to retell the story as you highlight the key words containing each blend. The PowerPoint ends with an interactive puzzle: can the children tell you which things begin with the blend FR? Watch the pictures spin if correct and disappear if incorrect! An FR worksheet is included for follow up. Close your lesson with a plenary session, reviewing the key words containing the FR blend. Suitabel for all pupils, but written to help a disallusioned 8-yr-old who had already failed to read despite 2 phonic programmes, I needed a way to get his attention. It worked and he loved these simple PowerPoint presentations and was soon reading and spelling words with consonant blends.
