Bridging Book 3 - Introduces Final Consonant Blends - Teacher Notes

Mission Spelling Zero is an innovative and structured course designed to support young learners on their journey to mastering reading and spelling skills. This comprehensive programme is divided into seven levels, each represented by a different colour of the rainbow, to provide a clear and engaging progression for children. At the heart of this course is the introduction of a charismatic new character—an alien with exceptional computer skills—who makes learning an adventure. This character, Zoggy, will become a friendly guide for your child as they explore the foundational elements of phonics, starting with initial sounds.

As children progress through the levels of Mission Spelling Zero, they will build upon their knowledge, moving from simple sounds to more complex phonetic structures such as double consonant blends and vowel digraphs. This ensures that their phonic skills develop in a way that supports accelerated learning in the future. In addition to the phonics and spelling practice, the scheme also includes a series of writing booklets. These booklets are designed to reinforce handwriting skills, enable children to construct their first sentences, and provide fun games that consolidate their learning. With Zoggy by their side, children will find reading and spelling an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
