Big Phonics Book 1
Notes for Teachers
Helps to develop and consolidate pupils’ understanding of grapheme/phoneme correspondence.
Covers initial and final consonant and short vowel sounds (a-z, plus ch, sh and th).
Especially useful for those who need a lot of practice and reinforcement.
Provides invaluable support material which fits in well with popular approaches to phonics teaching and current
classroom practice.
Straightforward, clear layout enables pupils to work confidently and with little teacher assistance.
Contains a wide, balanced range of activities to give variety and to suit different learning styles.
Suitable for a wide age range: Reception Year and Year 1, plus older pupils having difficulty with phonics.
Excellent for assessment and to send home.
Ideal for the literacy hour: most sheets are suitable for group work and some can be enlarged to A3 and used as a
class activity.
Fits in well with the Curriculum Guidance for the Foundation Stage and the National Literacy Strategy, especially
Reception and Year 1 Word level work.
Practical points:
1) In the first section of the book (pages 1-78), sheets are in alphabetical order. This is for ease of reference and does
not suggest a teaching order for sheets.
2) For teachers preferring to teach qu rather than q alone, pages 52-54 provide an alternative to the three q pages (49-
51). Pages 94, 96 and 100 are also affected: please see the teachers’ notes on these pages.
