c) Children love playing this game:
A child secretly chooses one of the words on the list and whispers it to the teacher (or writes it on a piece of paper).
A child from the group/class is nominated to guess which word has been chosen.
Note: The child guessing which word has been chosen says,
‘Was it latch?’
The reply will be, ‘Yes, it was latch’ or ‘No, it was not latch’.
If the child does not guess correctly another child is nominated to guess.
When a child guesses correctly he/she becomes the leader.
NB: It is a good idea for the teacher to choose the child who is to guess the secret word. This ensures all children will have a turn.
 It is important for you to develop a routine for working through the lessons. If you are a parent/caregiver using this Pack one huge advantage is that the child will have one-to-one tutoring. It is important for the child to have your attention and guidance for each lesson.
It is important for the child to know you are positive, enthusiastic and happy to
be committed to this programme.
Another huge advantage if this Pack is used as a Parent Phonic Pack is that your
child can move through it at his/her own pace. It is important for your child to
progress at a pace where she/he can understand and remember the work being
covered.
 Be liberal with your encouragement. Praise the child and give reward stickers for genuine effort. The child is going to enjoy the learning more if he/she is succeeding.
About the lessons in Phonic Pack Six:
 At the beginning of each lesson the child will write his/her name. . A space is also provided at the top of each lesson to write the date. eg.(**-**-‘**)
 Let the child read the instructions for each lesson but cheerfully give help if needed. Reading the instructions gives your child important, purposeful reading practise.
 When covering the new words for the lesson make sure the child knows the meaning of each word. Putting the words into a sentence is a good exercise. It is putting the word into context and giving your child practise at ordering his/her thoughts.
 Every time a child writes a sentence make sure it has a capital letter and a full stop. But remember: it is not always easy for children to remember the correct punctuation when concentrating on creating a sentence or story. Be patient. If a child needs to correct punctuation (or spelling) let her/him go back and ‘edit’ the work. Explain this is what authors do.
