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
Ideal resource for interventions & dictation practice!
A compact reference of words grouped by sounds, blends, tricky words and vowel alternatives. Ideal for dictation, blending practice or quick planning support, helping teachers reinforce phonics skills and extend learning beyond the basics.
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 sound /y/. Ask pupils to think of and share other words with the same sound.
- Show the ‹y› flashcard, then do the action and say the /y/ sound together as a class.
- Add the new piece of wall frieze to your classroom display.
