Is your phonics plan pulled together as you need new ideas and activities?
When I first started my teaching journey I didn’t have a clue how to teach kids how to read and spell. I tried a bit of a mixed bag approach, mostly made up of whole language strategies. I used activities such as flash cards, mastery folders and look, say, cover, write, check.
Done for you phonics activities gives you more time so you can focus on assisting those students who need it!
But it didn’t feel like I knew what I was doing or that I was making a difference for those kids that needed my help!
For the past 6 years, I’ve worked hard to change this and learn everything I can about the best way to teach children to read and spell.
I’ve read many of the books by Dianne McGuinness, such as Early Reading Instruction; Language Development and Learning to Read, and Why Our Children Can’t Read And What We Can Do About It.
I’ve attended courses that have had a major impact on my knowledge, understanding and growth as a specialist literacy teacher. I’ve written many articles about what I’ve learned, including teaching children to read, choosing a phonics program and reading intervention for a student with dyslexia.
And in the past 6 years, I’ve worked with hundreds of children who either have an identified learning difficulty such as dyslexia, or who have fallen behind with their literacy learning.
In that time I’ve developed my own teaching resources, materials, games and activities to support my students. Many of the kids I work with have low self-esteem. They have a negative view of learning to read and spell and they are disengaged. The phonics activities and games I create help to push through those barriers and reach these kids and get them excited about learning again.

You’ll have, all in one spot, all of the materials you will need to support your reading and spelling program. You’ll get worksheets, games, posters and activities. Each individual pack comes with teaching notes that explain how to play the games or complete the activities. Notes from a teacher who has used these in real classrooms with real kids.
The Complete Phonics Kit is a tool that you can take with you if you move grades as the activities begin from the simple to the more advanced. No more hunting around for new material if you go from kindy to grade 2.
