Note to tutor:
(When the word tutor is used in this book it could be substituted with teacher, parent or caregiver.)
Phonic Pack 5 follows on from Phonic Packs 1, 2, 3 and 4.
1. Along with their reading vocabulary it is important for children to build up a bank of words they can confidently spell correctly.
2. While working through Phonic Packs 1-4 the children have built up a reading vocabulary. Many of these words will also be in the bank of words they can now spell correctly.
3. The first 6 lessons in Phonic Pack 5 revise some of the more common words a child should be able to spell at this level of development. If your child knows how to spell the words already you will be able to work quickly through these lessons.
4. Some children find spelling easy, others have to work at learning how to spell words. If your child finds spelling difficult,
explain that’s how it is for some people and he/she needs
the lessons. Have short, relaxed practise sessions with the
words he/she finds difficult. Confidence grows with success.
5. At this stage of development, when writing, a child should be encouraged to use a junior dictionary to help her/him spell the more difficult words. Explain this is what adults do when they are not sure how to spell a word. Let your child see you using a dictionary.
6. A home made dictionary is a good way to get a child used to
finding words in alphabetical order, using the first letter only.
7. You will find ‘My Dictionary’ on my Phonic blog –
www.phonics.net.au
Look on the left of the blog underneath the titles for the Phonic
Packs and Extra Activities. Click on ‘My Dictionary’.
8. During Phonic Pack 5 ask the child to read the instructions to
you. This gives the child practise at reading for a purpose and
the child is learning to read, understand and follow
instructions. Give help only when needed.
9. Make sure the child understands what is required to complete
the activities and then let him/her do the work by him/herself.
10. Knowing the meaning of each word is important. Putting it
orally into a sentence is a valuable exercise.
11. A space is provided at the top of each lesson to write the date.
eg.(**-**-‘**)
12. At all times encourage neat work, with letters properly formed.
Enjoy the ride.
Note: The extension activities do not have page numbers. This is so the Phonic Pack Five Booklet for the children will have correct numbering on the pages.
