A set of 6 activity books to develop phonemic awareness and phonic skills through explicit, playful, repeated practice.
Book 1 – s a t p i n
Book 2 – m d k g o c
Book 3 – e u r b h l f
Book 4 – q v j y z w x
Book 5 – Double letters – ff, ll, ss, zz
Book6 – Adjacent consonants
 
The books include the following activities,
Word building
Word chain lists — use for the sound switch game and dictation
Games for playful repetition
Decodable sentences for reading practice. Plus space, to draw a picture to encourage talk about the words and sentences.
 
The activities combine reading and spelling and help students to develop phonemic awareness and phonics knowledge.
Build a word – segmenting sounds in words to spell
Read the word after building – blending sounds and mapping the letters to read/say the word.
Phoneme manipulation – the ability to pull words apart in the smallest unit of sound to create new words.
Build vocabulary and comprehension through rich discussion about the words, sentences, and picture-making. To draw the pictures, the student has to reread the sentences. Students often need to read a text more than once, but can sometimes be reluctant. Drawing together is a scaffold for conversation. The discussion with an adult can fuel vocabulary development and comprehension.
