GET READY TO TEACH
REVISION
Step 1
Revision
Teacher guidance:
Use flashcards to briefly revise the letter sounds already taught. Revise the formation of one or two letters.
What to do:
- Show flashcards of taught letter sounds. Pupils say each sound once and do the action.
- Choose 2 or 3 letters to write on the board. While this is being done the children form the letters in the air.
The most valuable resource for everyday revision!
Four flashcard sets for daily teaching, revision and games. Covering letter sounds, regular and alternative word blending (with sound dots for support) and tricky words in teaching order. A practical resource for reinforcing phonics skills at every stage.
LEARNING THE LETTER SOUND
A rainbow of books covering beginner to more advanced readers!
Big books that introduce each letter sound with the action, shows the letter formation and provides a colourful story illustration that contain pictures of words with the sound in. Fun activities and extension tasks help children develop correct handwriting, reading and spelling skills in an engaging way. Perfect for teachers to use during phonics lessons.
Step 2
Story and Action
Teacher guidance:
Use the Finger Phonics Big Book to introduce and tell the story related to the new letter sound.
What to do:
- Highlight words from the story that include the letter sound /o/. Ask pupils to think of and share other words with the same sound.
- Show the ‹o› flashcard, then do the action and say the /o/ sound together as a class.
- Add the new piece of wall frieze to your classroom display.
How to Introduce the Story & Action
This video example shows how to introduce the letter ‹o› through the story and action. Notice how the pace is kept lively to hold pupils’ attention. Concepts can be reinforced later in the day through other fun activities.
