Phase 5 spelling programme Letters and Sounds: Suitable for home-learning

Phase 5 spelling programme Letters and Sounds: Suitable for home-learning

(0)
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.

CVC Phonic Worksheets: Short A

(0)
A bumper pack of 72 Short A CVC worksheets for all abilities in your class, fully differentiated helping every child progress in their phonic journey: Whether you require worksheets for word families or activities with mixed families, we have you covered. Suitable for use with Letters and Sounds Phase 2, Read, Write Inc Set 1 and all UK Gov. approved phonic programmes. These CVC Short A worksheets take pupils from the early stages of blending and segmenting, helping them to gain confidence, to reading short phrases made up of purely decodable Short A words. Only two more advanced worksheets include the words ‘the’ and ‘is’. They are particularly helpful for the child who needs intentional and consistent practice with Short A words. These short A worksheets focus particularly on the most common short vowel a endings: at/an/ap, with other endings included in mixed/non-picture sheets. See a FREE sample of 5 worksheets from this pack here! Use them for independent work, classwork homework: various activities for variety, with enough similarities to enable children to work independently. Here you will find ample material even for the slower learners, who can progress from the simplest sheets to the more complex as their confidence grows. The plain design of these worksheets means that those with dyslexia or another learning difficulty will not be overwhelmed. The realistic pictures mean that older ESL/EFL pupils do not think they are doing babyish work. The worksheets are fully differentiated so that you can find the perfect activity for each child. The worksheets are multisensory, utilising the power of the hand in learning phonics requiring children to trace and write as much as possible, alongside using the eyes in seeing, the ears in hearing and the lips in sounding out. Pupils will develop phonemic awareness by blending and segmenting words and finding the beginning, middle and final sounds. 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. Unscramble the letters 100% decodable reading comprehension; short phrases, read and draw The following words are used (I only use words that will make sense to the majority of children as at this early stage reading must be meaningful and not just for the sake of decoding): an: can, fan, man, pan, ran, van, nan at: bat, cat, hat, mat, rat, sat, fat, pat ap: cap, gap, map, nap, tap, zap am: jam, ham, Pam, Sam, dam plus: bag, sad, lad

Highly Structured Phonic Programme for Intervention
lilibettelilibette

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.
