Hi, we use jolly phonics and Sounds Write for our phonics teaching, and focus on teaching segmenting, blending and wordbuilding skills once the children have learnt the first six sounds that are taught. The children that I teach for phonics are really good at wordbuilding, but I would like to play a wider variety of games during whole class wordbuilding sessions At the moment, the chil dren love 'In the Dustbin' which is a variation on hangman, but personally I'm getting sick of it!!!! Does anyone else have any other word building games which are good for whole class sessions Looking forward to your ideas Thanks BB

Hi. I have to do a reading workshop for parents in my school and of children who will be coming to our school. Their children are aged between 2-7. I need to make it simple but effective as many of our parents have poor reading skills themselves and/or are EAL. I've thought about using some of the chapters from the 'Foundations of Literacy' book as starting points, so I'll include: General introduction 1. Introduction 2. Learning to listen 3.

Hi Everyone, Could you give me some advice please? The teacher in the nursery i work at has asked me if i could ask you all what writing style is now taught in schools, the teacher has a parent who has asked her to teach a child to write her name, the child has emergent writing and is aware of the letter sounds of the alphabet.
