Let’s Go On A Ride - Teacher Notes (Writing And Comprehension Practice)

The 'Let's Go On A Ride' teacher notes provide guidance for a writing and comprehension practice workbook aimed at children aged 4 to 8 years. This workbook is designed to complement the phonic reading and spelling resource 'Let's Go On A Ride', which is part of the green level in the 'Mission Spelling Zero' scheme. It offers a variety of follow-up activities that reinforce the phonic sounds covered in the main book. Children will engage in exercises that strengthen their understanding of long vowel sounds, magic 'e', and vowel digraphs such as 'oo', 'ee', 'ar', 'or', 'ir', 'ur', and 'er'. Activities include tracing and writing letters and words, learning spellings, and completing simple comprehension tasks based on the story from 'Let's Go On A Ride'.

'Mission Spelling Zero' is an innovative and structured course that facilitates young learners in taking their first steps in reading and spelling. It consists of a series of books, each represented by a different colour of the rainbow, to guide children through the levels of phonics and spelling. The programme introduces children to a charming character—an alien with exceptional computer skills—who makes learning engaging and fun. As children progress through the levels, they will master initial sounds, double consonant blends, and vowel digraphs, equipping them with the phonic skills necessary to excel in future learning. Additionally, the scheme offers writing booklets for further practice in handwriting, sentence construction, and educational games to solidify their newly acquired knowledge. This comprehensive approach to learning ensures a solid foundation in literacy for early learners.
