Learn The Initial Phonic Sounds 'v, n, p, w, e' (3 years +) - Teacher Notes

This educational resource is designed for children aged 3 years and older to introduce them to the initial phonic sounds 'v, n, p, w, e'. By reading simple sentences, such as "Nan has got a dog in the van" and "Wet pet at the vet", children begin to recognise and understand these fundamental sounds. The material is ideal for creating vibrant posters to display in the classroom, providing constant visual cues to aid in the learning process.

The pre-reader work packs from Guinea Pig Education are crafted to expedite the reading learning process, aiming to teach children to read within six months to a year. These packs focus on phonics, the sounds within words, offering children a foundational 'tool' to decode approximately 80% of the English language, with the remaining 20% learned through recognition and repetition. The packs include activities such as word building, sentence construction, and engaging games like snap and bingo. With each new phonic sound building upon the previous, children are encouraged to personalise their learning with drawings and to repeat exercises until the words become familiar, making the journey of learning to read an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
