Phonics Boost Pack 1
Initial consolidation for Expected Level Phonics
Use the Boost Pack to consolidate children’s phonics learning for the following phonemes:
a.m.t.s.d
i.n.o.p.g
c.k.u.b.ck
e.f.l.h.sh
r.j.v.y.w
th.z.ch
Each phoneme in each word includes a sound symbol to help children identify whether a sound is short or stretched.
Each word includes a description and an illustration. Use these to discuss how the words can be used in spoken sentences. Supporting children to develop their spoken vocabulary and grammar is critical for them to use phonics as an effective reading strategy.
Use the Word Line activity for children to take it in turns to work together and place letters into the order of words. You can do lots of variations with this activity including racing to see how quickly children can get into correct orders.
Help children develop their fine motor and writing skills with the Word Maker sheets on which they can cut out letters and stick them into words before having a go at writing.
Guidance and example planning for the resources in this set is here.
The Boost Pack can be used alongside the Monitoring & Progress Pack to check on children’s overall progress.
