Zoggy At The Garden Centre - Teacher Notes (Writing And Comprehension Practice)

The 'Zoggy At The Garden Centre' teacher notes provide guidance for a writing and comprehension practice designed for children aged 4-8 years. These no-preparation, printable worksheets are a supplementary resource to the phonic reading and spelling book 'Zoggy At The Garden Centre', which is part of the 'Mission Spelling Zero' series. The worksheets aim to reinforce phonics concepts such as long vowel sounds, the magic 'e', and vowel digraphs like 'oo', 'ee', 'ar', 'or', 'ir', 'ur', and 'er'. They offer a range of follow-up activities, including sound reinforcement, letter tracing and writing, as well as spelling exercises and simple comprehension tasks based on the story. It is essential that these worksheets are used in conjunction with the 'Zoggy At The Garden Centre' book, specifically within the green level of the 'Mission Spelling Zero' scheme.

'Mission Spelling Zero' is an innovative structured course designed to assist young learners in taking their initial steps in reading and spelling. The scheme includes a series of books across seven levels, each represented by a different colour of the rainbow. The programme introduces children to a new character, Zoggy—an alien with exceptional computer skills—who guides them through learning initial sounds, double consonant blends, and vowel digraphs. As children progress through the levels, their phonics skills become a powerful tool for accelerating future learning. In addition to the reading materials, the scheme provides exciting writing booklets that allow children to practice their handwriting, construct sentences, and engage in games that reinforce what they have learned. The 'Mission Spelling Zero' series is a comprehensive approach to laying the foundations for reading and spelling proficiency in young learners.
