Designed for pupils who experience difficulties in the acquisition of phonic skills. A wide variety of activities covering the ‘silent e’ rule with vowels a, i, o, u, consonant digraphs and b-d confusion. Suitable for middle and upper levels of primary school and above. 70 pages.
TEACHING NOTES
Many of the worksheets include activities for improving spelling accuracy. It is often helpful to work on phonic skills and spelling skills commensurately.
Consonant digraphs can be taught successfully as soon as pupils have mastered all letter sounds and the skill of c-v-c blending. As a consonant digraph represents a single sound it is easier to accommodate these than the skill of c-c-v-c blending.
Silent e
Many pupils find the silent e or magic e rule difficult to master. Developing the mastery of spelling these word patterns will help. It often helps if pupils develop lists of words which illustrate the rule e.g.
mat mate
rat rate
hat hate
b – d confusion
This is probably the most difficult single difficulty to remedy. If the pupil still experiences difficulties after completing the sheets it may help to use the activities in the bdpq Book.
Encourage the pupil to restrict the use of capital letters to correct instances. While the pupil is writing a letter b or d stand behind and trace the letter on his/her back. Cut out the picture of the bed or bat and ball and stick it to the pupil’s desk or the inside cover of exercise books.
