Introduces Consonant Digraphs, Sh, Ch, Th, & words ending in Y (3 years +) - Activity Pack

The Activity Pack designed for children aged 3 years and above serves as a comprehensive guide to introducing consonant digraphs such as 'sh', 'ch', and 'th', along with words ending in 'y'. Created by Sally Anne Jones and Amanda Jones, this educational resource is published by GUINEA PIG EDUCATION, located in New Haw, Addlestone, Surrey. It's an ideal tool for a variety of young learners, including early readers, older children who may be reluctant readers, those with learning difficulties, and children for whom English is a second language. The pack includes eight reading books that progress from initial sounds and simple word building to more complex sounds, providing a structured approach to phonics-based learning.

The learning method is interactive and straightforward. Each chapter introduces a new sound, and children are encouraged to learn the sound, read sentences, and match words and phrases to pictures. This repetitive practice is essential for familiarising children with each sound before moving on to the next. The scheme is effective as it covers 80% of words that can be learned phonetically, with additional words being taught through visual recognition and memory. The pack also includes a friendly narrative featuring characters like Sam and Kim, along with their pets and friends, to make the learning journey engaging. For those who require further assistance, the publishers offer support via email.
