Zoggy’s Shadow - Teacher Notes

"Spell With Phonics - Zoggy's Shadow" is an educational resource designed to help children learn vowel digraphs such as 'ou', 'ow', and 'au', along with the soft 'c' and 'g' sounds. Parents and educators are encouraged to read the story with their children to familiarize them with these sounds. After reading, they can engage in an interactive exercise where words are called out for the children to write down, reinforcing their understanding and spelling skills. To further support learning, there is an option to purchase an accompanying workbook that includes writing practice and comprehension exercises, enhancing the child's grasp of the concepts taught in the story.

The "Mission Spelling Zero" scheme introduces a new character—an innovative alien with exceptional computer skills named Zoggy. Zoggy is designed to captivate young learners and guide them through the foundational stages of reading and spelling. The scheme consists of a series of books spread across seven levels, each represented by a different colour of the rainbow, providing a structured and engaging approach to phonics education. As children progress through the levels, they will develop their phonics skills, starting with initial sounds, moving on to double consonant blends, and mastering vowel digraphs. These skills are essential tools for accelerating future learning. Additionally, the scheme includes writing booklets for children to practice handwriting, construct sentences, and play educational games that consolidate their learning, making the journey of reading and spelling with "Mission Spelling Zero" both fun and rewarding.
