Make A Sound Book To Reinforce The Sound 'en' (3 years +) - Teacher Notes

Create an engaging and educational sound book for children aged 3 years and above to help reinforce the 'en' sound. This interactive activity involves cutting out templates provided in the pack and arranging them in chronological order to form a coherent story. Once the pages are correctly ordered, the book is assembled by stapling along the left edge. This hands-on approach to learning is designed to make the experience enjoyable for young learners as they begin their reading journey.

Guinea Pig Education's Pre Reader Work Packs are rooted in the philosophy that learning to read should not be a prolonged process. With these packs, which utilise phonics, children can potentially learn to read within six months to a year. The packs introduce children to phonics, helping them to decode around 80% of English words through sound recognition, while the remaining 20% are mastered through visual recognition and repetition. The materials are user-friendly, with clear guidance for adults working with individual children or groups. They include fun word games like snap and bingo, and encourage daily practice of word building and sentence formation. The aim is for children to personalise their learning experience, engage with the content repeatedly, and most importantly, have fun as they develop their reading skills.
