The Entertainer - Teacher Notes

Mission Spelling Zero is an innovative and structured literacy course designed to assist young learners in taking their first steps towards reading and spelling mastery. This comprehensive program is divided into seven levels, each represented by a different colour of the rainbow, making it both engaging and educational for children. The course aims to establish foundational reading and spelling skills through a series of books that are tailored to progressively build upon each other as the child advances through the levels.

The course introduces a captivating new character, Zoggy, an alien with exceptional computer skills, who becomes the children's guide on this educational adventure. Zoggy starts by teaching the initial sounds through his own stories. As the child progresses, the learning extends to include double consonant blends and vowel digraphs such as ea, ai, ay, oi, oy, and oa. The program also includes a range of no-prep, printable worksheets that offer phonic writing practice and comprehension exercises. These additional resources are designed to enhance handwriting skills, enable the writing of first sentences, and include games that reinforce the learning experience. With Mission Spelling Zero, children are set on a path where their growing phonic skills become a powerful tool for future learning.
