Designed to be used alongside any existing phonics programme. It provides structured, step-by-step activities to develop phonics skills and caters for the everyday challenges teachers may face:

• Promotes full pupil participation in a large class throughout a lesson
• Offers forms of assessment that will best provide accurate information regarding the progress of the individual pupil
• Supports a teaching structure that caters for all abilities in a spiral manner
• Activity books are spiral bound for ease of use

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
