Introduces Triple Consonant Blends. Read Fun Rhymes (3 years +) - Activity Pack

The "Activity Pack" is an engaging and comprehensive resource designed to introduce children aged three and above to the world of reading through phonics. This educational tool is particularly versatile, catering to a wide range of young learners, including early readers, those who may be reluctant or struggling, and children for whom English is not their first language. The pack includes a series of eight reading books that progressively teach phonics, starting from basic sounds and word building to more complex phonetic patterns and word structures. Initial books focus on simple three to four-letter words, while subsequent volumes cover a variety of sounds such as 'ch', 'sh', 'th', and 'oo', leading up to complex sounds like 'tion' and various prefixes and suffixes. Additional titles for fluent readers are also available to further their skills.

The approach of the pack is interactive and straightforward. Each chapter introduces a new sound, encouraging children to learn and practise it through repetition and association with pictures. This method helps in blending sounds to form words and is effective for about 80% of English vocabulary. For the remaining words, a look-say-remember technique is advised. The pack not only aids in reading but also in spelling, with exercises ranging from simple to more challenging words. To enhance the learning experience, the pack includes a story featuring characters like Sam, Kim, and their pets, which integrates the phonetic concepts taught. For additional support, the publisher offers help via email for those who need it. This pack is a user-friendly tool for anyone looking to improve their reading and spelling proficiency in a fun and interactive way.
