Phonics Resources for Older Learners

This book provides resources for teachers of older children and adults, who want to use phonics to help learners who struggle with reading and spelling. Phonics Resources for Older Learners contains a variety of resources that can be photocopied for teaching purposes. The resources are presented in a clearly defined phonic progression, enabling teachers to provide considerable practice at each level of learning. There are dictation sentences, picture-word matching, gap-fill exercises, mixed up sentences, spelling sheets and wordsearches. The book comprises of two sections: Section One contains the English Alphabet Code in its simplest form. It deals with the single letter sounds and consonant digraphs within CVC words at first, gradually increasing the level of difficulty to 5-sounds such as CCCVC. Section Two looks at the main vowel sounds in our language and presents the varying spellings that we use to represent them. Along with its companion book Phonics Stories for Older Learners, this is the perfect teaching resource for teachers of older children, as well as tutors in Adult Literacy and ESOL classes.
