This Is Zoggy - Teacher Notes (Writing And Comprehension Practice)

The "This Is Zoggy" workbook is an essential educational resource designed for children aged 4 to 8 years, aimed at enhancing their writing and comprehension skills. It is intended to be used alongside the "This Is Zoggy" book, which is part of the purple level in the 'Mission Spelling Zero' scheme. This workbook offers a variety of follow-up activities that build on the phonics work taught in the main book. These activities include reinforcing letter sounds, tracing, writing letters and words, and engaging in simple comprehension exercises based on the story. It's important to note that this workbook is most effective when the child already has access to the "This Is Zoggy" book.

The 'Mission Spelling Zero' scheme is an innovative structured course designed to help children take their initial steps in reading and spelling. It consists of a series of books spread across seven levels, each represented by a different colour of the rainbow. These levels are carefully crafted to assist young learners in developing their reading and spelling abilities. Zoggy, a friendly alien character with exceptional computer skills, guides children through the learning process. Starting with initial sounds, Zoggy's story-based approach then progresses to double consonant blends and vowel digraphs. As children advance through the rainbow levels, their phonics skills become a powerful tool for accelerated learning. Additionally, the scheme offers a series of writing booklets filled with handwriting practice, sentence writing, and educational games to solidify the concepts learned. 'Mission Spelling Zero' is an engaging way to embark on the journey of reading and spelling mastery.
