Phonics for Pupils with Special Educational Needs, 2nd edition is a systematic, synthetic phonics programme designed for learners with additional needs, providing a fun and accessible resource for pupils with SEN of any age. The evidence-led programme offers a refreshingly simple and accessible approach to the teaching of phonics, breaking it down into manageable core elements and providing a wealth of accompanying activities. Each book in the series gradually builds on pupils' understanding of sounds and letters and provides scaffolded support for children to learn about the speech sounds of the English language and their matching letters. The companion Teacher's Manual includes thorough guidance on how to deliver the activities.
Activity Book 6: Sound by Sound Part 4, is the sixth book in the Phonics for Pupils with Special Educational Needs programme. Fully revised, this 2nd edition builds on the concepts, skills and knowledge taught in previous books.
Covering 7 key sounds (/l/ /b/ /d/ /t/ /o/ /i/ /ue/) and the consonants, each section contains over 35 engaging activities, centred on: expanding pupils' knowledge of advanced code and working towards increasing reading and spelling automaticity and fluency. New activities include mini-books, sound-spelling sorting, dictation, fluency practice, sentence work and the addition of retrieval practice guidance in relation to key activities. There are also lesson planners to support formal and semi-formal delivery, handy word lists a movable alphabet, and posters infographics for both pupils and staff.
