Description

– Incorporates skills that fit into any phonics or spelling program.
– Emphasises oral language.
– The skills are presented as fun, hands-on games and activities for the whole class, small group and pairs, with full instructions (including the actual words to say if required), all game/activity resources, supporting worksheets (if applicable), differentiation suggestions, formative and summative assessments and answers.
– Literature links and suggested websites for games are also included where applicable.
– The activities are predominantly oral activities for four-year-olds but are also appropriate for students who struggle with letter-symbol correspondence, those beginning to read and older children who need support.
– The games and activities are perfect for learning stations and easily managed by adult and parent helpers.
– They can also be used for early finishers to consolidate skills or to motivate young students needing extension.
– The activities link perfectly to the Early Years Learning Framework and the Phonics and word knowledge section of the Language strand of Australian Curriculum English.
