Learn Words Ending in le and el - Read the story 'Walking The Dogs’ - Teacher Notes

The 'Walking The Dogs' reading pack is an engaging educational tool designed to teach children about words ending in 'le' and 'el'. This resource is a part of the 'Learn To Read With Phonics Reading Packs', which promise to help children, including those who are reluctant or facing learning challenges, to read within six months. Suitable for a wide age range starting from 4 years old, these packs are particularly beneficial for older readers aged 7 to 9+, as well as for children with learning difficulties or those for whom English is a second language. The packs are versatile, allowing for one-to-one sessions or small group learning with a teacher, parent, or guardian.

The reading packs offer a structured approach, incorporating 44 phonic sounds into the narrative of a charming boy named Sam. As children read through Sam's adventures, they engage in an interactive experience by searching for hidden sounds within the text. This methodical build-up of phonic sounds aims to enable children to decode 80% of words in the English language by breaking them down into sounds or syllables. The progression through the packs is swift, and they include additional stories like 'The Bouncing Castle' and 'The Famous Cousin From The Country' to reinforce more complex middle sounds. Upon completion, children are well-prepared to transition to independent reading, tackling books such as Roald Dahl's 'George's Marvellous Medicine' and 'Fantastic Mr Fox'. To enhance retention, many packs feature cut-out practice pages that pair words with pictures, and phrases with pictures, solidifying the association in the child's memory. The text is kept simple and accompanied by fun illustrations to captivate young readers.
