Phonics

A comprehensive set of Phonics games for emerging readers of all abilities. These follow commonly accepted progressions through initial letters, digraphs, consonant patterns and alternative spellings and pronunciations. As a teacher, you can specify exactly which words you want to play with, choosing them from word groups organised by phonic features. The games are ideal as lesson starters or for pupils to play, individually or in small groups, at a stage that suits their ability.

    Overview of Phonics Skill Builders SKILL +

    An introduction to the Phonics Skill Builder area with an explanation of the phonic progressions used, cross-reference tables and word lists. NOTE: This 7-9 Phonics Skill Builder contains exactly the same progressions and words as the other age groups but uses an Explorer theme to differentiate the games visually. We have provided these so that pupils needing "catch-up/recovery" type practice, don't feel they are playing the same games as younger children.
