Zoggy At The Soft Play - Teacher Notes

Mission Spelling Zero is an innovative teaching scheme designed to help children take their first steps in reading and spelling. This structured course is divided into seven levels, each represented by a different colour of the rainbow, and is tailored to support young learners in developing their initial reading and spelling abilities. The programme introduces a unique character, Zoggy, an alien with exceptional computer skills, who becomes a friendly guide for children as they explore the world of phonics. Zoggy's engaging stories provide a foundation for learning initial sounds, which then progresses to more complex phonetic patterns such as double consonant blends and vowel digraphs.

The scheme is complemented by a range of no prep, printable worksheets focusing on Phonic Writing Practice and Comprehension. These resources are designed to reinforce the sounds taught and offer children the opportunity to practice their comprehension skills. As children advance through the levels, they will find that their phonic knowledge becomes a vital tool, accelerating their future learning. Additionally, Mission Spelling Zero includes a series of writing booklets that allow young learners to practice their handwriting, construct their first sentences, and engage in games that consolidate their understanding of the material covered. With Zoggy at the helm, children are set for an exciting and educational journey into the realms of reading and spelling.
