Week 2, lesson 2 "z" grapheme cards - Phonics Phase 3 - Resource

In the second week of Phonics Phase 3, lesson 2 introduces the "z" grapheme with the aid of engaging grapheme cards. These cards are a resourceful tool for educators to help young learners recognise and pronounce the "z" sound correctly. One of the cards features a creative and memorable character named 'Zuto from Pluto', designed to capture the children's imagination and associate the "z" sound with the character's name. The playful and extraterrestrial theme of 'Zuto from Pluto' serves as an effective mnemonic, aiding in the reinforcement of the grapheme and its sound.

The grapheme cards are part of a set, with each card numbered for easy reference; in this case, the 'Zuto from Pluto' card is labelled as number 45. These cards are visually appealing and serve as a visual cue to support the learning process. They are an essential component of the phonics curriculum and are utilised within the classroom to promote active participation and engagement with the letter sounds. The grapheme cards, along with other phonics resources, are available from AllAboardLearning.com, a website dedicated to providing educational materials for foundational literacy skills.
