The best choice for your classroom

The series uses a number of methodologies that will help teachers to consolidate and further enhance the teaching of phonics in their class:

Phonics fans in each activity book ensure all pupils must offer an answer to each phonics question

Unique structure supports your teaching, whether you teach the letters of the alphabet along with the initial blends in Junior and Senior Infants, or whether you also teach the digraphs

Numerous reinforcing games are detailed in the teacher's handbooks, including a wide variety of fun spelling games at 1st and 2nd Class

At 1st and 2nd Class, a major emphasis is placed on the alternative spellings for different sounds, with characters from the sound families and games presented in the teacher's handbook

Blending activities based on groups of sound are included throughout the activity books

Phonics for fun sessions are a perfect support for station teaching and group work

Regular revision pages consolidate learning

The Sounds Good Phonics approach

 teacher's handbooks give you an overview of the programme, answer any questions you may have, and provide you with detailed teaching support. The handbooks provide support for teaching sounds and a wide range of phonics skills through:

Phonics fan games: The set of phonics fans included at the back of each activity book ensures that every child must offer an answer to each phonics question. The teacher's handbook provides detailed support for the many different games that can be played using these fans, ensuring engagement from pupils and instant assessment of learning for teachers.

Phonics for fun sessions: These sessions are based on the principle of station teaching with a focus on phonics. Support is given for a broad range of structured phonics activities for station teaching in each teacher’s handbook.

Each handbook also has an invaluable directory of words which provides lists of vocabulary to support teaching of all initial, medial and final sounds.
