Year 1 Phonics Screening Check Kit.

This activity pack includes a very useful CD-ROM that includes how to pronounce the sounds correctly.

My Phonics Kit includes everything you need for fun phonics practice at home leading up to the Year 1 phonics screening check. If your child is due to take the phonics screening check next year or found aspects of the screening check difficult and did not achieve the expected standard for year 1, you can support your child with some fun phonics practice at home.

It supports what your child is learning in school and includes:

* Three phonics workbooks to provide lots of practice in this early reading skill. Each workbook includes tips for doing the activities together, and all of the sounds are included on the CD-ROM for your reference.

* Six carefully levelled interactive ebooks and activities on a CD-ROM.

* A colourful reward chart with stickers to build confidence.

* Advice from phonics expert Laura Sharp, providing answers to questions such as 'What is phonics?' 'How do I say the sounds?', 'How can I support my child with phonics and the phonics check?'.

The home version of the 'Speed Sounds Cards' used in many schools.

Before your child can start to read, he or she needs to learn:
* To say the sound that is represented by each letter or letter group (the 'Speed Sounds')
* How to blend the sounds together in a word to read it , e.g. c-a-t = cat, sh-o-p = shop. This is called sound blending.




These Phonics Flashcards include:
* 31 Speed Sound cards with the letter or letters that represent a sound on one side and a simple picture prompt on the other side (the letter sounds a-z and the sounds sh, ch th, nk and ng - the sounds your child needs to learn to read Storybooks 1a to 3b).
* 17 picture cards with pictures of things that contain the same sound as the Speed Sound cards.
* 7 instruction cards with activities to help your child learn the Speed Sounds, the letters that represent them, and how to sound-blend them into words for reading.

Young children learn best when they are having fun, and these playing cards help practise phonics skills by reading words and playing games.

These games have been written by reading experts to help you support your child's learning in school.





The games will help children to:
* Learn that one sound can be represented in several ways - e.g. 'ai' as in 'rain', 'make', 'way', 'angel', 'break'.
* Blend sounds to read words.
* Develop memory and concentration skills.

Oxford Phonics Spelling Dictionary

Oxford Phonics Spelling Dictionary

Ref: 9780192734136


Price: £8.99

Quantity:

The new Oxford Phonics Spelling Dictionary is an easy home and school reference tool. It supports the teaching of reading and spelling through synthetic phonics. Supported by the Floppy's Phonics Sounds and Letters Programme, it follows the Alphabetic Code Chart showing the sounds and alternative spellings that children will need to learn to become proficient readers and spellers. The words are ordered by initial sound and there are subsections to show how the same sounds appear in the middle or at the end of a word. The long vowel sounds and their alternative spellings appear in a separate section within the dictionary.

This unique dictionary makes it easy to explain how 'sun' and 'Cinderella' both start with the 's' sound and how 'dance' has the same 's' sound at the end, while 'egg' and 'eat' start with the same letter but different sounds. With colourful illustrations by Alex Brychta and the familiar Oxford Reading Tree characters, this is a fun way to prepare for the phonics screening check.
