Phase 5 spelling programme Letters and Sounds

Overview

The Phase 5 Spelling Programme Letters and Sounds is a powerful teaching tool for both homeschooled and public school children. It is intentionally designed to be simple and effective, focusing on enhancing the mastery of new graphemes during phase 5 learning.

Aims and Approach

• One primary goal is to develop proficient spellers.
• The programme also supports struggling readers and spellers, promoting steady progress.
• A unique feature of this programme is that it focuses on one sound each week,

A dictionary dictation based on the learned sound can be conducted in the following week. This systematic teaching approach that requires minimal daily commitment over a span of 16 weeks significantly improves a child's assimilation and retention capacities, ensuring success.

Benefits of The Programme

• An entire weekly period dedicated solely to studying one sound provides ample opportunity for thorough absorption of new knowledge - particularly beneficial for students who find other programmes challenging or fast-paced.
• The programme boosts confidence among children by effectively not requiring them to spell words they were not systematically taught beforehand.
This attribute affirms the genuinely systematic nature of the programme.

Learning process:

In addition, each writing exercise builds upon previously learned sounds— errors are pointed out by children themselves who then correct them under guidance from applied phonetics education provided in their curriculum—making it another versatile learning method suitable for all learners regardless their literacy handling capacity. Teachers have flexibility in implementing this resource depending on what works best with class or group dynamics–ranging from individual study orchestrated by special needs teachers or Teaching Assistants (TAs) all the way up to whole classes where necessary.

Note: Progress will largely depend on quality teaching along with a solid foundation in confidently spelling Phase 4 sounds before moving onto Phase 5.
