Games, Ideas and Activities for Primary Phonics
by Lynn Cousins and Gill Coulson
Following on from the success of their first gem 'Games, Ideas and Activities for Early Years Phonics', Gill Coulson and Lynn Cousins have written a companion gem 'Games, Ideas and Activities for Primary Phonics', introducing more advanced activities and offering a natural progression from the basic sounds introduced in the first book.
The 150 activities in this new book will apply to children throughout the Foundation Year and Key Stage 1, but are equally useful for children who have moved into Key Stage 2 but are not yet confident with spelling and still need to reinforce their skills. As with the first book, the ideas provided are not fully-developed lesson plans, but provide a wealth of ready-made lesson ideas to supplement and support your teaching of phonics.
Designed with busy teachers in mind, the Classroom Gems series draws together an extensive selection of practical, tried-and-tested, off-the-shelf ideas, games and activities guaranteed to transform any lesson or classroom in an instant.
