Synopsis

Fun Phonics is direct instruction at its best. The Teacher’s Handbook is everything you need to teach phonics skills confidently, whatever your phonics training.

Each lesson has the following features:
Before You Start : pre-lesson preparation

The Lesson: 15 minutes long, each lesson develops the course incrementally as the programme progresses. Questioning techniques are recommended to ensure full pupil participation. Lessons contain activites such as learning about rhyme, developing phonemic awareness, alphabet naming activities, and blending and segmenting.

Planning: An index links each lesson to the NLS by year/term reference, key skill and specific skill.
