Phonics fashion - level 1
Drag the labels into position. Then use 'Mark' to find out if you're right.
Teaching tips:
This activity is designed to provide contextual words for children to read as they develop their ability to read while progressing through a phonics teaching programme. The content is most suitable for a Letters-and-Sounds-based programme. Users of other programmes may need to turn off individual words in the settings.
The words are arranged in banks corresponding to GPC sets and whether they contain adjacent consonants. In Activity settings you can turn off whole word banks so you can match the stage of your pupils' phonics learning.
N.B. This activity is not tied into the general Blending and Segmenting settings.
