Learn Magic e (as in fine and cake) - Teacher Notes

The Learn To Read With Phonics Reading Packs offer a comprehensive and enjoyable approach to teaching children how to read, targeting a broad age range starting from 4 years old and particularly beneficial for reluctant older readers and those facing learning challenges. These packs are also highly effective for children learning English as a second language. Structured for either one-to-one sessions or small group settings, the packs facilitate a collaborative learning experience between an educator, be it a teacher or a parent, and the child. The course is meticulously designed to integrate 44 phonic sounds within the narrative of a charming character named Sam, allowing children to uncover hidden sounds as they read.

By engaging with the material and identifying sounds within words, such as syllables, children can swiftly progress and eventually decode 80% of the English language. The packs include captivating stories like "The Bouncing Castle" and "The Famous Cousin From The Country," which are instrumental in reinforcing more complex phonic sounds. Upon completion of the course, children are well-prepared to delve into independent reading, transitioning to books like Roald Dahl's 'George's Marvellous Medicine' and 'Fantastic Mr Fox'. The packs are not only educational but also interactive, with cut-out practice pages that help cement the phonic sounds in the child's memory through matching exercises. The packs' flexible structure allows for tailored learning by selecting the specific sound pack needed, with a suggested order provided for complete beginners, starting from basic sounds to more intricate ones including prefixes and suffixes.
