Phonic Worksheets for Early Years/Intervention - Growing Bundle
Special Resources, ELA, Special Education Needs (SEN), Language Development, Pre-Reading, Phonics, Reading, Spelling, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets, Activities, Games
This is a pack of Bumper Pack of 14 (to date) books of phonic worksheets for the digraphs: L blends, CK, SH, CH, TH, OO, EE, OR, AR, A-E, I-E, O-E, U-E, AI and EA especially designed for those with special needs, including those with dyslexia or who may be suspected of being dyslexic but will work equally well with young learners in Kindergarten/EYFS/Y1. These sheets are LETRS and UK GOV requirements aligned. These worksheets also align with the most popular phonic programmes, including RWI and Letters and Sounds. What is included? PDF's of worksheets each covering the sounds: L Blends. CK, SH, CH, TH, OO, EE, OR, AR, A-E, I-E, O-E, U-E, AI and EA, all following my special method devised as I privately tutor children of all ages with profound special needs. Over 180+ Worksheets: Your phonics lessons covered! Tracking, fluency triangles, spelling, reading, games, comprehension exercises....and more! Some sounds contain print-and-go games to make learning fun. AR and A-E each contain a board game. Who are these worksheets for? I have written them for pupils who struggle with processing information - especially sounds. This includes children who are DYSLEXIC or have ANY other kind of processing disorder. Such children may have failed with other methods of teaching phonics. Such pupils need activities that: ·are highly structured - one tiny step at a time building on the one before using only a limited number of words to start with and only using words that the child has already learnt to sound out, with no nasty surprises. ·Have only a little on each pageas these pupils tire easily. What makes these worksheets special? I have a powerful three-step process which I use with my special needs pupils, which is worked out over the course of the 12 worksheets: 1. See it!where we focus on becoming aware of the new sound in words. This involves first hearing the new sound in words and then seeing it in words (tracking). 2. Sound-it-out!Having learnt to see the new sound in words, we learn to sound out these words to read and write them. We begin by usingsound-it-out boxesfor reading and spelling which help the child to segment the word prior to blending the sounds together. Once the child can read and write individual words, we work on fluency by building familiarity with the common words in the new sound family. Once the child can sound the words out to read and spell confidently, we move on to recognising them/using them in longer reading and dictation passages, as soon as the child is able. I provide 2 reading passages with comprehension exercises and one dictation passage, with a page in the workbook dedicated to it, with room for a picture, which again cements understanding. 3. Write it! Incorporated into the above two steps, we constantly write the new sound. This adds a multi-sensory dimension to our work - we see with our eyes, we sound it with our mouth parts and voice, and then we move by writing. All three steps work together to help the child feel in control of his/her learning and to become a successful, confident learner. We finish each sound (except the Consonant L-Blends) with a dictation which culminates our work before we move on to the next sound. I try to give this a week after we finish the book, to act as revision. The dictation: Read this passage to your pupil, who should write it. Have the child read his/her work and check for errors. Make sure the writing is completely accurate before saying the child has finished, including full stops and capital letters correctly used. Flashcards are included in most books. Phonic Games are also included for AR and A-E to make learning more fun! What is included? 10 PDFs totalling 150 + worksheets each covering the sounds: CK, SH, CH, TH, OO, EE, OR, AR, A-E, I-E, O-E, U-E, AI and EA, 2 PDF games for AR and A-E in full colour and black and white

SIXSPELL PRIMARY-2 Gr. 3
ELA, Language Development, Spelling, Grade 3, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans
SIXSPELL PRIMARY-2 Gr. 3: A Revolution in Language Arts Teaching The SIXSPELL PRIMARY-2 Gr. 3 is a revolutionary learning resource designed for Grade 3 Language Arts teachers, focusing predominantly on Spelling. It serves as an innovative supplement to traditional spelling practices, overhauling daily spelling programs to synchronize better with the needs of modern education. Far from being just another drilling tool, SIXSPELL introduces a unique approach engendered by research. Dedicating just 10 to 15 minutes per day to this method can lead to substantial improvements in students' writing skills and overall academic performance. A Fresh Approach to Spelling Rather than relying on rote memorization, this spelling program lays emphasis on meaningful words and rule-based instructions catering uniquely to each student's requirement. The program discourages teaching of words that are already mastered by the student, eliminating unnecessary replication in learning. SIXSPELL underscores the interplay between reading and spelling abilities stressing that children need proficiency in sound-symbol relationships before they can grasp spelling instructions successfully. An Invaluable Tool for Dynamic Instruction The material included in SIXSPELL has been thoughtfully selected from various word lists suitable for Grade 3 students; taking into account possible overlaps across different grades due partially related word usage.. This versatile toolkit can be employed equally effectively either during large group classes or during more focused small group lessons - you get maximum results when aligned specifically with your classroom context! . . . ., . We invite all the educators on board for a path-breaking language teaching transformation commencing with these small but significant steps every day, allowing students to embark into the fascinating world of words with SIXSPELL PRIMARY-2 Gr. 3!

Special Resources, ELA, Special Education Needs (SEN), Language Development, Phonics, Reading, Spelling, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, 3, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools, Outlines, Worksheets & Printables, Flashcards, Workbooks
This is a Phonic spelling programme. Not only will it teach a child to spell, but also to write. Just add a good handwriting programme. The spelling programme can be used with all ages from 5 to 99, however, if used with a young learner I strongly advise using the programme to teach both reading and spelling at the same time. See the website for more information and resources to teach young children. The spelling programme can be used: with children who have learnt to read, but need a spelling/writing programme with children who have tried another phonic programme and not made much progress with reading and/or spelling/writing with a special needs child who needs a very structured approach to learning by home educators by parents wishing to help their child at home About the programme The programme is very flexible and can be made to fit the child, rather than the child to fit the programme. Being highly structured, each new lesson builds on the one before, constantly revising the previously taught material The spelling programme will take 41 weeks to teach. One new sound is taught each week. What is included? The teacher's manual with full lesson plans and helpful teaching tips A list of the keywords for each lesson with the phonic sound highlighted - for practice and revision 39 spelling worksheets The Reading Made Simple Phonic flashcards The Odd Word flashcards About the worksheets The worksheets use time-honoured exercises to help pupils to become familiar with the new sound and revise previously taught ones. They include such exercises as tracking the new sound in words, proofreading as well as comprehension questions. Children generally find them fun because they are so easy due to the way learning is structured throughout the programme. More information If you would like more information about the spelling programme, then please visit the Reading Made Simple website. The same programme and set of worksheets can also be used to help an older child read, one who has some phonic knowledge but needs the gaps filled in a systematic manner.

CVC Words
Vocabulary, Language Development, ELA, Spelling, Early Learning, Elementary, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools, Worksheets, Worksheets & Printables
One of the most significant turning points in a child's education is learning to read. Using CVC words is one of the oldest and most successful methods of teaching reading. Consonant-Vowel-Consonant is referred to as CVC. For young students and beginning readers, these straightforward three-letter words with a regular structure are perfect. Children can better grasp how individual sounds, or phonemes, combine to make words by using CVC words. They offer a strong basis for decoding, blending, and phonics abilities. Children can learn to read the entire word "cat," for instance, by blending the sounds /k/, /a/, and /t/. Early learners, ESL students, and everyone else just starting out in reading and spelling are the target audience for this ebook. It contains 50 of the most widely used CVC words, along with a definition and sample sentence for each. The word list is followed by a student worksheet that includes thirty entertaining and instructive activities to help reinforce the content. There are answers at the end for teachers or self-evaluation. Now let's start learning!
