Zoggy, Dan And The Dog - Teacher Notes

'Zoggy, Dan And The Dog' is an essential resource for children aged 4 to 8 years old who are embarking on their journey of reading and spelling. Designed to be used in conjunction with the 'Mission Spelling Book', this workbook is a valuable tool for reinforcing the phonetic sound work introduced in the story. It is specifically tailored for those at the indigo level of the 'Mission Spelling Zero' scheme and offers a range of follow-up activities. These include the reinforcement of letter sounds, tracing, writing letters and words, and simple comprehension exercises based on the story. The worksheets require no preparation and are ready to print, providing a convenient and effective way to support literacy development at home or in the classroom.

The 'Mission Spelling Zero' scheme is a vibrant and structured course that takes young learners through seven levels, each represented by a different colour of the rainbow. The scheme introduces children to the world of phonics, beginning with initial sounds and progressing to more complex aspects such as double consonant blends and vowel digraphs. At the heart of this learning adventure is Zoggy, an innovative alien character with exceptional computer skills. Zoggy's engaging stories and activities captivate children, making phonics fun and accessible. As children progress through the levels, their phonic skills become a powerful tool, laying the groundwork for accelerated future learning. In addition to the reading resources, the scheme also includes a series of writing booklets, allowing children to practice their handwriting, construct sentences, and play educational games that consolidate their newfound knowledge.
