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

The 'Zoggy At The Zoo' teacher notes provide guidance for using the accompanying worksheets aimed at children aged 4 to 8 years old. These materials are designed to complement the phonic reading resource 'Zoggy At The Zoo' and are particularly useful for reinforcing long vowel sounds, the magic 'e', and various vowel digraphs such as 'oo', 'ee', 'ar', 'or', 'ir', 'ur', and 'er'. The exercises in the workbook are intended to be used only if the child or children have access to the 'Zoggy At The Zoo' book, which is part of the green level in the 'Mission Spelling Zero' scheme. The workbook offers a range of follow-up activities that build upon the phonics taught in the book, including letter sound reinforcement, tracing, writing, spelling practice, and simple comprehension exercises based on the story.

'Mission Spelling Zero' is an innovative structured course designed to assist young learners in taking their first steps in reading and spelling. The course is comprised of a series of books across seven levels, each represented by a different colour of the rainbow. These levels are structured to help children progressively develop their reading and spelling abilities. Featuring Zoggy, a charismatic alien character with exceptional computer skills, the course introduces children to initial sounds through engaging stories before progressing to more complex concepts like double consonant blends and vowel digraphs. As children advance through the rainbow levels, their phonics skills become a valuable tool for accelerating future learning. In addition to phonic skills, the 'Mission Spelling Zero' scheme also offers writing booklets for children to practice their handwriting, construct sentences, and play educational games to further consolidate their learning. The entire experience is crafted to make the journey of reading and spelling exciting and rewarding for young learners.
