Zoggy Is Lost - Teacher Notes

The "Zoggy Is Lost" teacher notes provide guidance for an educational resource that focuses on teaching children about long vowel sounds, the concept of 'magic e', and various vowel digraphs such as 'ee', 'ar', 'er', 'ir', 'or', 'ur', and 'oo'. Teachers are encouraged to read the accompanying story with their students to reinforce the phonetic sounds and to practice the spellings provided. This resource is designed to be used in conjunction with Phonic Writing Practice and Comprehension materials to further reinforce the sounds that students have learned.

Introducing the 'Mission Spelling Zero' scheme, this resource is part of a structured course aimed at helping young learners take their first steps in reading and spelling. The scheme consists of a series of books spread across seven levels, each corresponding to a colour of the rainbow, and is designed to assist children in acquiring foundational reading and spelling abilities. The character at the heart of this learning journey is Zoggy, an innovative alien with exceptional computer skills, who will guide children through the basics of phonics, starting with initial sounds and progressing to double consonant blends and vowel digraphs. As children progress through the levels, their phonic skills become a valuable tool for accelerating future learning. Additionally, 'Mission Spelling Zero' includes a series of writing booklets that provide opportunities for handwriting practice, writing simple sentences, and engaging in games that consolidate the learning experience.
