The Funfair - Reinforces The Phonic Sounds ea and ear (as in seat and dear) - Activity Pack

The "Funfair Activity Pack" is an educational resource designed to reinforce the understanding of specific phonic sounds, particularly 'ea' as in 'seat' and 'ear' as in 'dear'. This engaging pack is filled with activities that encourage young learners to explore and practise these sounds through a variety of words and contexts. With exercises like reading stories set in a funfair, children are exposed to words that rhyme with 'kite' and 'bite', as well as words with short vowels and double consonants. The pack aims to make the learning process enjoyable and memorable, as students encounter vivid imagery of funfair rides and the excitement that comes with them.

Structured to cater to a range of learners, from pre-readers to those with a degree of fluency, the pack is divided into eight books, each focusing on different phonic sounds. The course methodically introduces new sounds, providing sentences and word lists for practice. It's designed to support not only young children who are just beginning to read but also older children and adults who may face challenges with reading and spelling. The pack emphasises the importance of phonics as a foundational reading skill, suggesting that with practice, 80% of English words can be learned through phonetic decoding. The resource is complete with stories about characters like Sam, Kim, and their pets, making the learning experience relatable and fun for readers.
