Bridging Book 4 - Introduces Long Vowel Sounds and Magic e - Teacher Notes
English Resource Description
The 'Mission Spelling Zero' scheme offers a fresh and engaging approach to teaching young learners about phonics and spelling. Bridging Book 4 in the series is specifically designed to introduce children to long vowel sounds and the concept of the magic 'e'. This book also covers vowel digraphs such as 'oo', 'ee', 'ar', 'or', 'ir', 'ur', and 'er', providing a comprehensive foundation for early literacy skills. The structured course is presented across seven levels, each represented by a different colour of the rainbow, allowing children to progress and build upon their reading and spelling abilities in a systematic way.
Children are welcomed to the world of learning with a new character, Zoggy—an innovative alien with exceptional computer skills—who makes the learning journey fun and relatable. Zoggy guides children through the initial sounds with his own stories, and as they advance through the levels, he helps them to grasp more complex concepts such as double consonant blends and vowel digraphs. The 'Mission Spelling Zero' scheme doesn't stop at reading and spelling; it also includes a series of writing booklets where children can practice handwriting, construct their first sentences, and engage in games that reinforce their learning. This comprehensive educational tool is available in both digital download and paperback formats, accessible online and at all reputable book and education outlets, comprising 39 pages of enriching content.
