This versatile resource can be used in your literacy rotations, or with individual students. It is perfect to cater to the varying needs of your students as you can choose your focus graphemes for word building. Students will get plenty of practise recognising digraphs and blending sounds together to create words.
Orally manipulate phonemes in spoken words by addition, deletion and substitution of initial, medial and final phonemes to generate new words (phonological awareness)
Write consonant–vowel–consonant (CVC) words by representing sounds with the appropriate letters, and blend sounds associated with letters when reading CVC
Recognise and name all upper- and lower-case letters (graphs) and know the most common sound that each letter represents
Understand that a letter can represent more than one sound and that a syllable must contain a vowel sound
Spell one- and two-syllable words with common letter patterns
Segment sentences into individual words; orally blend and segment single-syllable spoken words; isolate, blend and manipulate phonemes in single-syllable words (phonological awareness)
Read and write some high-frequency words and other familiar words
Segment words into separate phonemes (sounds) including consonant blends or clusters at the beginnings and ends of words (phonological awareness)
Use knowledge of letters and sounds to spell words
Use short vowels, common long vowels, consonant blends and digraphs to write words, and blend these to read one- and two-syllable words
Segment sentences into individual words and orally blend and segment onset and rime in single syllable spoken words, and isolate, blend and manipulate phonemes in single syllable words
Understand how to spell one and two syllable words with common letter patterns
Recognise and name all upper and lower case letters (graphemes) and know the most common sound that each letter represents
