Zoggy In The Sun - Teacher Notes

The 'Zoggy In The Sun' resource is tailored specifically for the development of early literacy skills, focusing on initial sounds and three-letter words. It is designed to be used in conjunction with a delightful story that not only captivates young minds but also serves as a tool for reinforcing phonetic sounds and practising spelling. To further enhance learning, it is recommended to use this resource alongside dedicated Phonic Writing Practice and Comprehension Worksheets, which aim to solidify the concepts taught through engaging exercises.

Introducing the 'Mission Spelling Zero' scheme, this innovative programme is structured to assist children in their first steps towards reading and spelling mastery. The scheme comprises a series of seven books, each represented by a different colour of the rainbow, and each level is crafted to build upon the previous one, progressively enhancing the child's reading and spelling abilities. At the heart of this learning adventure is Zoggy, a charismatic alien character with exceptional computer skills. Zoggy guides children through the fundamentals of phonics, from initial sounds to more complex aspects such as double consonant blends and vowel digraphs. As children progress through the levels, their phonic skills become a powerful tool, paving the way for accelerated future learning. Additionally, 'Mission Spelling Zero' includes a collection of writing booklets filled with activities, games, and handwriting practice to consolidate the skills acquired and foster a love for reading and spelling.
