Learn Tricky Words With Long Sounds & Middle Phonic Sounds ‘ar’, ‘oo’, ‘ai’ - Activity Pack (1)
English Resource Description
An engaging Activity Pack aimed at children aged 7 to 11 focuses on mastering tricky words with long vowel sounds and the middle phonic sounds 'ar', 'oo', 'ai'. Through a variety of interactive and fun exercises, children are encouraged to explore spelling and pronunciation. Zoggy, the character leading the challenge, prompts learners to observe their surroundings, using directional words such as 'before', 'behind', and 'between'. The activities include a 'Read, Copy, Cover & Spell' exercise to reinforce the correct spelling of these words, alongside others that incorporate long vowel sounds.
The pack also includes a whimsical poem that cleverly weaves in long vowel sounds, inviting children to identify them. This poem is part of Zoggy's third challenge, which not only helps with spelling but also with comprehension and creative thinking. The narrative of Zoggy's experiences by the seaside and the quirky message to Planet Zen offers a playful context for learning. Children are further prompted to guess the items Zoggy has collected based on descriptive clues, combining vocabulary building with critical thinking. The list of words at the end, such as 'made', 'spade', 'freeze', and 'tide', are used for additional spelling practice, ensuring that children become comfortable with both the spelling and the context of these tricky words with long sounds.
