Raising standards in KS1 and Special Needs: helping every child to succeed. I have taught systematic phonics to all ages and abilities for over 30 years. My teaching degree was in Environmental Studies and I hate to see science reduced to box-ticking when there is so much to discover about the wonderful world we live in. So, I produce Phonic resources that meet the real needs of children and teachers, along with science resources to engage children in learning about the natural world.

CVC Phonic Worksheets: Short A

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

OO Phonic Worksheets: oo as in moon; oo as in book

(0)
This is a pack of 46 phonic worksheets to teach ‘OO’ as in moon and OO as in book. These ‘OO’ 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). 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.
