An Alien Visits - Teacher Notes (Writing And Comprehension Practice)

The "An Alien Visits" teacher notes are designed for educators looking to provide engaging writing and comprehension practice for young learners aged between 4 and 8 years old. These no-preparation, printable worksheets are an excellent supplement to the phonic reading and spelling resource "An Alien Visits," which is part of the "Mission Spelling Book." It is important to note that this workbook is intended for use alongside the "An Alien Visits" story, specifically within the indigo level of the "Mission Spelling Zero" scheme. The workbook includes a variety of follow-up activities that reinforce phonic sounds covered in the book, such as reinforcing letter sounds, and providing tracing and writing exercises for letters and words, as well as simple comprehension tasks based on the story.

"Mission Spelling Zero" is a structured course designed to help children take their initial steps in reading and spelling. The course is comprised of a series of books spread across seven levels, each represented by a different colour of the rainbow, aimed at aiding young learners in acquiring basic reading and spelling skills. A new character, an innovative alien with exceptional computer skills, will join the children on their educational journey. Named Zoggy, this character introduces children to initial sounds through his own stories, gradually progressing to more complex phonics concepts such as double consonant blends and vowel digraphs. As children advance through the levels, their phonic skills become a powerful tool for accelerating future learning. Additionally, "Mission Spelling Zero" includes a series of writing booklets filled with handwriting exercises, sentence writing practice, and educational games to consolidate the skills they have learned.
