Phonic Word Lists

This is a pack of phonic word family lists for the most common digraphs and trigraphs,

Those included are:

ck, oo, ee, sh, ch, nd/nt ending, nk endings, th, ng, ing, ar, or, a-e, i-e, o-e, u-e, ai, ea, oa, high, it, ay, ou, aw, oi, ur, al, er, y ending both ee and eye, ea saying/e/, ow as in cow, a saying /ar/, long vowels with no 'e', ow saying oe, ew, oy and rules concerning 'wa' words.

Each list contains no more than 10/11 words.

This is deliberate, as it helps those with any special need, and those without progress more securely.

How to study the words on each list:

Each list is studied for one week and the child can become very familiar with these words, so gaining reading and spelling fluency.

The child should be encouraged to first learn to recognise and see the new sound in words, then to see it in text, and then to use it to spell and read words.

Finally. the child should be encouraged to remember the words on each list, as this will help with learning which combination of letters is needed to spell each word (e.g. is it 'a-e or ai?)

The word lists can be used by anyone, however, they have been written to form the basis of teaching the Reading Made Simple lessons.

Reading Made Simple is a 100% FREE programme that can teach children to both read and write, especially those with a special need, including dyslexia.

More information can be found on the website, including how to use these lists.

If using them to teach an older child who is having difficulty with spelling, a pack of matching worksheets, which are highly structured in approach can be found in my store.
