What is in Each Pack?

New phonic programme – for parents and teachers - and it's FREE
You have a choice - print the Phonic Packs, for free, from the images (instructions supplied with each image) or you can now order a hard copy.
If your child is learning how to read then these Phonic Books are for you. The phonic lessons, with worksheets and activities, have been written especially to equip parents to give phonic instruction to their child. Teaching phonics has been made easy, with step-by-step instructions being provided in the Phonic Packs.
Teachers will also find these Phonic Packs invaluable. The lessons are sequential so can easily be used for your phonic programme, already written for you. Each lesson also stands alone, so if you do not wish to follow the programme lesson by lesson you can choose the activities which suit your requirements.
These Phonic Packs make learning phonics interesting and exciting. They come with flashcards and an Honour Certificate to present to your child at the end of each Pack.
Each Pack contains explanatory notes for parents (or teachers). It would be beneficial to read these notes before presenting the lessons.
Each Phonic Pack contains:
1. one or two student lessons/activities books.
2. detailed notes for parents/tutors which explain the programme and how to work the activities.
3. a set of flash cards needed for that Phonic Pack.
4. an alphabet sheet to be used as a quick reference for the child to check correct letter formation, alphabetical order etc.
5. an Honour Certificate to present to the child on the completion of the lessons/activities.
6. ideas for integrating the lessons into other learning areas.
Phonic Book One contains 33 lessons. It introduces the single sounds (a-z), sounding out two and three letter words and listening for beginning, middle and end sounds. It also covers writing two and three letter words. An interesting extra section has been included with each sound because children have an insatiable appetite for knowledge and so many things can be learnt and discussed by expanding on the activities in this Pack. These activities integrate into other learning areas such as English, Mathematics, Science, Society and Environment, Health and the Arts.
Phonic Pack Two consists of 53 lessons which introduce common sight words and simple phrases (see the, I can see a, I can see the, Can you, We can see, Can you see my, I am, look, I like, likes to, likes, Here is, little, This is, what, said, my, come, where). This Pack covers double letters, initial and final blends and 6 digraphs (ck, th, wh, ch, sh and ee). It also covers 'e' as in me, 'y' as in sky, 'ing' as in ring, 'old' as in gold, 'all' as in ball and 'y' as in teddy. Colour words are introduced in this Pack.

Days of the week, colour words and number words (one to ten) are also introduced in this Pack. A comprehension activity follows the introduction of every sound because it is important that children comprehend what they read. Writing sentences, with a capital letter and a full stop, is also emphasised in this Phonic Pack.

4. Extension exercises are suggested if the tutor would like to integrate the lessons into other learning areas.
Phonic Pack 7 consists of 26 lessons. It has been written for children who are already competent readers, therefore no flash cards have been included. Lists of words covered for each sound have been included at the end of Phonic Book 7 for practise, revision and reference for correct spelling during writing activities. Children benefit from studying a sound in isolation and then in context.
The first six lessons concentrate on Alphabetical Order. Children need to understand and
be confident using Alphabetical Order – it is a necessary ‘everyday life skill’.
The other twenty lessons cover ‘u’ as in push and pull, ‘ch’ as in orchids, ‘ph’ as in
elephant, ‘wor’ as in worm, ‘ear’ as in pearl, silent ‘b’, silent ‘w’ and silent ‘k’. A story
entitled ‘The Purple Turtle Pet Shop’ has been included to cover and compare ‘ir’, ‘ur’, ‘er’,
‘wor’ and ‘ear’ as in pearl.
Comprehension exercises and/or word studies have been included in each lesson.
Extension exercises have been suggested to extend the brighter child and/or to integrate
the learning into other learning areas.
Working through this phonic programme will enhance your child’s school reading, handwriting and spelling programme.
