Week 1, Guided Reading "Sid Sat" - Phase 2 - Worksheet

The "Sid Sat" guided reading worksheet from the All Aboard Phonics series is an engaging resource aimed at young learners in the early stages of reading. It is tailored for children who have been introduced to the graphemes in weeks 1 and 2 of Phase 2 and are beginning to develop their blending skills. The worksheet includes a variety of comprehension questions that delve into the narrative, characters' feelings, and the actions within the story. Questions range from basic plot recall to more thoughtful inquiries about the characters' emotions and hypothetical scenarios, encouraging children to think critically and empathetically about the story's events.

In addition to comprehension questions, the worksheet offers a range of activities designed to reinforce phonics knowledge and reading comprehension. These activities include grapheme practice, where children can write in soil with their finger or a paintbrush, and a colouring task that involves painting a pontoon that has lost its colours, accompanied by tracing the phrase "Sid sat in a pat." The worksheet also suggests quiet reading and acting out the story to predict what might happen next, promoting interactive and imaginative learning. Teaching notes emphasize the importance of a positive and fun learning environment, with plenty of praise and enthusiasm to support children as they navigate the beginnings of their reading journey.
