Teachers’ Notes The Essential Phonics series is designed for use with students working at middle primary levels and for older children that struggle with spelling and reading basics. The activities are designed to help children identify and distinguish the many combinations of vowel sounds (graphs, digraphs and trigraphs) that make up the English language. It contains a range of concrete worksheets and review sheets that will aid children in their spelling and reading. This book can be used on its own or in conjunction with other existing phonic programs.

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

This book can be used by teachers, parents and/or tutors, and in a variety of ways:

Teac he r

Fitted into your daily or weekly literacy program; Used to help children who are struggling with spelling or reading; As revision work sheets; In conjunction with a language program (e.g. THRASS) or other phonic programs; • Homeschooling; • Tutoring.

How you choose to use the book will vary depending on the child or students you are working with.

There is no set order that needs to be followed. You may choose to work through this book from the beginning to the end in the alphabetical phonic order as it is set out, or select specific sounds groups that the children are experiencing difficulty with.

m . u

Whichever way you choose to use the activities, the book will prove to be an asset not only to you, but to the students completing the sheets.

If the book is used for children who are clearly experiencing learning difficulties with their spelling and reading, it is recommended that you try working through the sheets using the direct teaching method as outlined on page 5.

Direct Teaching 1. Establish the sound that is made by the phonemes in the group you are working with, i.e.

“ar ” as in chart

“a” as in past

ar a

2. Before commencing the sheet, you may like to conduct a word brainstorm on the board. Students think of as many words as they can that contain the sound you are studying.

r o e t s Bo r e ar a p ok u S

3. SHEET - Ask student/s to circle the sound in the box at the top of the sheet you are working though. e.g.

4. Read each word and ask student/s to repeat each word after you. (Correct any mistakes straight away. )

5. Students then circle the sound they are working on in that word and put a tick in the box after the word, to show they have said the word correctly. 6. Children are then asked to print the word. 7. Put in the missing phoneme sound. 8. Write the sounds in each word.

9. It is important that students work across the line, completing each step before moving on to the next word.

Olivia went for a wander in the park one day. She stopped at a park bench by the lake to eat her orange and watched the swans in the water. In the distance, she could hear the soft croaks of the frogs. What a beautiful day – the sun was shimmering on the top of the water and the breeze was blowing softly through the trees. A swallow flew past on its way to a gather insects from thel lake. The © R e d y E d P u b i c a t i ons warmth of the sun made her feel sleepy. •Olivia f or r evher i ew ur pose sonl y• closed eyesp and imagined herself as a bird, flying around from flower to flower, enjoying being swept up in the soft breeze. Suddenly Olivia opened her eyes. It was her watch beeping. She was not at the lake, but in her hammock, and had fallen asleep reading a book. It was all a dream, but what a lovely dream!

Olivia had lived most of her life on a small island off the coast of Australia and she had never seen snow. Her mum was taking her on a holiday to visit her uncle who lived in England. He played a strange instrument called an oboe. Olivia’s mum had told her that England was on the other side of the globe. It would be a long trip and there was a lot to do before they left in two days. They would first go by road to the harbour, then by boat to the mainland. After that, they would board a coach to the airport.

She decided to bring her favourite yellow slippers to keep her toes warm. She was really looking forward to the trip and had spoken of nothing else since she had found out about their holiday.

Essential Phonics: MORE VOWELS

Mike lay back on his favourite cushion reading a book about bull fighting. He could hear his mum in the kitchen. She was cooking a cake for his sister’s birthday. Earlier in the day, he had gone to the shop to get some icing sugar for the cake. He took the long way home, which went over the brook and through the bush, all to avoid running into a boy down the road who was a bully.

Circle all the words with the oo and u sound in them.

One time when he was riding home after collecting wood, the bully jumped out from behind the bushes and grabbed his bike. He shook it and then tried to push Mike off. Mike managed to pull away from the boy and get home safely. The boy just stood and looked at Mike as he rode off. Mike wished that he was as brave as the bullfighter in the book that he was reading.
