The Photo Album - Reinforces The Phonic Sound ph (as in nephew) - Activity Pack

The "Photo Album" activity pack is an engaging educational resource that reinforces the phonic sound 'ph' (as in 'nephew') and the hard 'g' sound. This pack is part of a comprehensive reading scheme developed by Guinea Pig Education, aimed at improving children's reading fluency. Through a charming story about Sam and his famous cousin, the pack provides a narrative context to help children learn and practise these specific phonics. The story includes moments of Sam recalling memories from a photo album, which includes various adventures such as an air show and encounters with wildlife. The narrative is designed to incorporate words that exemplify the target phonics, allowing children to see these sounds in use within an engaging and relatable context.

In addition to the story, the activity pack includes a list of words that align with the lesson's focus, encouraging children to differentiate between hard and soft sounds in words like 'achieve', 'leisure', and 'dolphin'. This educational tool is versatile, catering to a wide range of learners, from young children ready to read to older children or adults who may struggle with reading and spelling. The reading scheme is structured to progress through sounds and word building, using phonics as a foundation for learning. It promotes a methodical approach where each chapter introduces a new sound, and through repetition and practice, children can confidently move on to the next level, ultimately aiming for a fast and effective reading fluency.
