Zoggy Has A Picnic - Teacher Notes

The 'Zoggy Has A Picnic' teaching resource is a valuable tool for educators aiming to enhance their pupils' understanding of initial sounds and three-letter words. By engaging with the story, children can reinforce their phonetic awareness and practice spelling in an enjoyable and interactive manner. This resource is designed to complement the 'Phonic Writing Practice & Comprehension Worksheets', allowing for a comprehensive approach to learning early reading and spelling skills.

Introducing the innovative 'Mission Spelling Zero' scheme, this structured course takes young learners on a colourful journey through seven levels, each represented by a different colour of the rainbow. At the heart of this adventure is Zoggy, a friendly alien with exceptional computer skills, who guides children through the basics of phonics, from initial sounds to more complex concepts such as double consonant blends and vowel digraphs. As children progress through the levels, their phonetic abilities become a powerful tool, setting a strong foundation for future learning. In addition to the engaging stories, 'Mission Spelling Zero' provides writing booklets filled with activities, handwriting practice, and games to solidify the children's newly acquired skills.
