Teachers Notes Phonics in Context –Book A contains a selection of stories, each concentrating on a particular phonic sound group. Accompanying each story are activities to consolidate and extend students’ knowledge in word recognition, spelling, comprehension and word study.

Each two-page lesson introduces a group of sight words and a sound group.These should be treated before the story is introduced.

Teac he r

Depending on the ability of each student, the story should be read with the students — individually, in small groups or as a whole class.

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

Artwork contains a humorous element, appealing to the students (and teachers!). It also assists in understanding what the story is about.

ew i ev Pr

Students are then required to complete the story by filling in the phonic sound — in this case‘et’.

Vocabulary chosen includes prime frequency words and phonic focus group words, as well as a selection of general related words.

© R. I . C.Publ i cat i ons •f orr evi ew pur posesonl y•

When the story has been completed, opportunities should be given for the student to participate in oral reading of the story.

. te

m . u

w ww

A spelling activity is always included, where students are required to LOOK, SAY, COVER, WRITE and CHECK a selection of words from the phonic sound group.

A comprehension activity is always included, where students use phonic sound group words to answer the questions.

o c . che e r o t r s super

The final activity varies. This may be a read and draw, word search or a word shape exercise using words from the phonic sound group.
