Zoggy Goes On Holiday' Learn To Spell Words With 'ay' (7-11 years) - Activity Pack

The activity pack titled 'Zoggy Goes On Holiday' is an engaging educational resource designed for children aged 7 to 11 years old, created by Sally Jones and Amanda Jones. It aims to teach young learners how to spell words containing the 'ay' sound through a series of phonics-based exercises. The theme of the pack revolves around the character Zoggy, who embarks on a holiday adventure, providing a fun and relatable context for spelling practice. The activities are crafted to help children associate the 'ay' sound with various words and situations they might encounter, such as being on holiday in May, relaxing at Sandy Bay, or feeling the ocean spray.

Challenge Thirteen within the pack presents a delightful scenario where Zoggy is curious about teaching the 'ai' or 'ay' sounds. Suggestions include catching a train, playing in the rain, organising a display, or going on holiday. Each activity is associated with words that incorporate the target sounds, like 'sail', 'trail', 'bay', and 'clay', further reinforcing the learning objective. The pack also includes a message from Planet Zen that cleverly uses 'ai' and 'ay' words in context, encouraging children to read and write a comprehensive list of these words. Additionally, the 'Read Copy Cover & Spell' section provides a structured approach for spelling practice, with a test to assess the learners' progress, making the learning process both systematic and enjoyable.
