The goal of the activity is for students to read different graphemes from left to right, top to bottom, to develop their reading fluency and enhance their ability to recognise and decode graphemes sequentially, which is crucial for proficient reading..
Speed Sounds is a fast-paced, engaging routine where students practise saying the sounds that letters represent. With everyone participating together, students learn to say each sound quickly and clearly. This builds automaticity — helping their brains recall sounds instantly, which makes reading and writing smoother and more confident!
Letter formation practice
​
The goal of the letter formation activity, which includes explicit arrow guides for forming letters and gradually removing them, is to help students develop proper handwriting skills and sound, letter recognition, ensuring they can write and identify letters accurately.
The goal of this phonics-based activity is to enhance early reading and writing skills by teaching students to accurately associate spoken phonemes with their corresponding written graphemes. Using scaffolds like letter tiles or flashcards initially aids in this process, but these supports are gradually removed to promote independence, ensuring students can confidently identify and form graphemes without assistance.
The goal of this activity is to help students strengthen their grapheme-phoneme matching skills by engaging in a series of exercises, ultimately improving their ability to associate letters with their corresponding sounds, a fundamental skill for reading and phonics development.
