Welcome to Phonics.net.au

This website offers a free, comprehensive and sequential phonic program for teaching children how to read. It is split into seven sections which are designed to be completed in order, however, each lesson is self contained and it's possible to pick and choose.

My name is Glenys Deutscher.


I am a school teacher with 37 years experience and over the years it has been my privilege to teach all Primary School Year Levels, from Kindergarten to Year 7.

I have been inspired to write these Phonic Books because I believe that systematic phonic instruction is the most successful way to teach children how to read and spell. Once children learn the sound for each letter of the alphabet, and can sound out three letter words, a whole new world of reading is opened up for them. Their confidence grows as they realise they can read and they soon learn to sound out longer words. The ability to read words fluently and with confidence improves reading comprehension. I have taught Year One children for many years and am convinced that a systematic phonic based programme enhances children’s reading progress. Each year I taught Year One, I had children who were non readers at the beginning of the year, progress to a reading age of over 8 years. Similar progress can also be tracked with Year 2 and Year 3 children whom I have taught with the phonic based programme. I have also used this programme to help older children who have been struggling with reading, with beneficial results.

I have written these Phonic Packs for parents (or other care givers) to work with a child because I am convinced there are many advantages for both child and parent to work through the programme together. Each year I have worked with many supportive parents whose positive input has improved their children’s learning.

Teachers and tutors will also find the lessons invaluable as they progressively and systematically work through a direct phonic programme. These lessons are sequential, so moving progressively through the phonic books could be your phonic programme (already written for you). However, each lesson stands alone, so if you do not want to move through the programme lesson by lesson you can choose which lessons are applicable to your classroom/teaching situation. Feel free to cut and paste.

Children not only need to learn how to read, they also need to be able to comprehend what they are reading. I have included a simple comprehension exercise at the end of each lesson to encourage the development of comprehension skills.

To be a fluent reader children also need to be able to confidently recognise common sight (look-say) words, so lessons introducing appropriate sight words are included in the Phonic Packs.

To help develop children's writing skills I have integrated simple punctuation exercises in to the Phonic Packs, and lessons encouraging the correct spelling of common words are included in Phonic Packs 5 and 6.

To access the complete Phonic Packs click on the links in the menu to the left.

If you are searching for a specific type of activity (eg digraphs, reading sheets, initial sounds) scroll down to the categories which can also be found to the left.

It is so important for children to be confident readers. It is my desire that this programme will help parents/teachers/tutors to empower children to achieve this goal.

Happy reading,
Glenys Deutscher.

Words that sound the same but have different spelling and meaning - Lesson 41 - Phonic Pack 3.

My name is .
Lesson Forty One : Words that sound the same but have different spelling and meaning.
Revision: read the ‘oo’ as in moon words on page 70.

This is a fun lesson where you look at words that sound the same but have different meanings and spelling. There are lots of pairs of words like this in the English language. You may be able to think of more.

Discuss the pairs of words with your tutor. Discuss the meaning of each word with your tutor.

Glue this page into your scrap book. You will find it a handy reference page.

see - sea sail - sale

meet - meat tail - tale

been - bean mail - male

tee - tea maid - made

seem - seam plain - plane

peek - peak to - two - too

reed - read here - hear (with your ‘ear’)

reel - real there - their (belongs to them)

flee - flea some - sum

son - sun

Note to tutor: Keep this lesson a fun time of interest and discussion. The words in colour are especially important and need to be covered in detail. Your child needs be confident with the meaning and spelling of these words. Return to them as often as is needed for this to be achieved.
