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.

L Blends Worksheets: Beginning Consonant Blends

(0)
A pack of 40 ‘L Blends’ Phonic Worksheets - differentiated so plenty for all abilities. These phonic worksheets are for any pupil of any age, including those with a special need. The worksheets cover: bl; cl; fl; gl; pl; sl. There is a selection of varied tasks for each blend and then a mix of activities to help children read and spell L-blend words with a short vowel sound. See it! Sound-it-out! Write it! is my powerful 3-step process. These L belnds worksheets are intended to be used in a multisensory capacity so needed by young children, in which the child sees the sound/word, feels the sound with the mouth parts, and then traces/writes it. My ‘sound-it-out’ boxes help to visually group sounds in words, guiding the pupil’s attention to the sounds to help them to sound out effectively. These structured worksheets take the pupil through the following stages: Hear the L Blend in familiar words (to familiarise the child with the sound) Write the L Blend (writing adds a multisensory dimension so needed by these pupils) Sort words by initial consonant (hearing and writing) Decoding words with initial L-Blends Writing/spelling words with the initial L-Blend Reading sentences containing initial L-Blend words Reading longer passages containing initial L-Blend words Suitable for use with any recognised phonic programme, inc RWI, and Letters and Sounds.

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.

Phonic Flashcards

Here is a pack of flashcards to help in the teaching of phonics. Start by teaching the initial sounds, then practice the five vowels especially as you start to build CVC/CCVC/CVCC words with a short vowel, then introduce the most common digraphs: ck, oo, ee sh, ch, th ng, or, ar, a-e, i-e, o-e, u-e, ai,ea, oa, igh, ir, ay, ou, aw, oi, ur, al, er, y, ow, ew and oy. More more help in using them see: https://readingmadesimple.weebly.com/level-1-teaching-notes.html See also the Reading Made Simple digraphs reading books: fully systematic, containing words that can be sounded using previously taught digraphs and only introducing key, non-phonic vocabulary slowly.

CVC Words Read, Match and Spell
lilibettelilibette

CVC Words Read, Match and Spell

(0)
Read Match and Spell is an activity to help children to read (sound out), find a matching picture and then spell CVC words with a short vowel sound using magnetic letters. Great for Literacy centers, or for group/individual work Great for EYFS/Early Intervention/Special Needs You can use this Read, Match and Spell activity as a worksheet and let the child copy the word + picture and write the letters in the boxes, but I prefer to use the picture and word cards. This makes the activity more fun and stress-free. Included are 6 words and pictures for each short vowel sound. Print as many baseboards as you require. Start by limiting the child to words and pictures from one vowel sound, and as confidence grows, extend the choice to other vowel sounds. You can target the ones the child needs the most practice with. I made it for a pupil who lacks confidence: by having the word already in front of him he felt safe to sound the word out to spell it. The activity acted as a bridge to him being able to spell CVC words by himself. In addition, the picture served as a reward for having correctly sounded out the word. .

Decodable CVC Leveled Reading Books

(0)
Here is a new series of five decodable phonic CVC words reading books (with a short vowel sound). Read in order for best effect. Vocabulary builds up systematically, repeating from book to book. Helps to build confident fluent readers. These CVC reading books can be used with two groups of children: a more confident child who is learning to read for the first time, an older child who maybe needs to revisit this level as part of a reading intervention programme. They have more text on a page than my CVC Reading books. They may even be used after a child has completed the 16 book set, to extend reading ability, as they use the same characters and the same vocabulary. They can be used in the early stages of all good phonic programmes but were written for Reading Made Simple, a 100% free reading and writing programme, which is popular with parents and home educators. These books : Have 99% decodable vocabulary - with just words like dog/hen/ran/get Only use sight words is and the and to. Have absolutely NO nasty surprises to trip a child up and make him/her lose confidence Keep pictures to the minimum: enough to engage and ensure comprehension, but not to encourage guessing Fluency charts are included listing all the keywords in each book. The child is encouraged to read each chart at least three times and colour a star after each reading. Suitable for use by: Teachers Parents Home educators Private tutors ANYONE!! Each book is either 12 or 16 A5 pages each.
Phase 1 Oral Blending Activities

Phase 1 Oral Blending Activities

(0)
Here are three simple activities to help a child to learn to blend (updated from advert). I wrote them for an 8 yr old child whom I tutor. He has a smattering of phonic knowledge, but having not learned to blend properly is now guessing and unable to read fluently. This is a common problem, but it must not be allowed to persist or the child will not learn to read fluently, or will take a very long time to do so. These activities are listening activities. This is a deliberate act to limit the amount of exposure a child has to seeing CVC words, before working on blending with him/her, and so further limiting the possibility that a child will memorise the words before having learned to blend. By all means use ‘robot’ talk as you do these activities with your child. Before doing these activities with your child: Do ensure that a child can give the correctly pronounced sounds on sight of the letters of the alphabet. Remove any distractions/background noise. Have the child’s full attention. Full instructions and black and white pictures provided.
