as each lesson is completed let your child tick it off. It is a good feeling.
the letters are being covered in ‘families’, according to how they are formed
when writing them.
take as much time as your child needs to complete each lesson. It is better to
complete each section thoroughly than to rush through it. Your child needs to
do each section at a comfortable pace for his/ her understanding. You will
probably find you can move more quickly as the lessons progress.
after each lesson find the flashcard for the letter covered in that lesson and add
it to the pile of letters covered so far. At the beginning of each lesson show
these flashcards, one at a time, and ask your child to say the letter-sound three
times. It is important that your child looks at the letter while saying the sound.
after Lesson Nine divide the flashcards into two piles. The first pile will be the
flashcards your child readily recognises. The second pile will be the letter-
sounds still not readily recognised by your child. At the beginning of each
lesson concentrate on the second pile. Your child will be motivated to have as
many flashcards as possible in the first pile. Count the first pile occasionally so
your child has positive feedback as he/she learns the sounds and the pile grows.
It is very important to give positive, liberal praise for effort and progress. If you
are excited with the progress, your child will be excited too.
after writing your child’s name in the space provided, glue the Phonic Pack One
cover page onto the first page in the scrapbook
number the pages in the scrapbook from 1 to 84. (May need two scrapbooks)
As the lessons are covered, glue the pages into the scrapbook, corresponding the
numbers of the lesson pages to the numbers on the pages in the scrapbook. i.e.
the letter- sound ‘a’ lesson is on pages 1 and 2, so glue them onto pages 1 and 2
of the scrapbook. Lesson Two letter-sound ‘c’, is on pages 7 and 8 so glue these
pages onto 7 and 8 in the scrapbook. This will eventually put all the letter-
sounds into alphabetical order in the scrapbook and will be an excellent revision
reference. Some pages will have pictures (etc) cut out of them. Just trim the
relevant remaining pieces and glue them into the scrapbook on the
corresponding page.
Some pages may be left blank. These could be filled in with writing words
(sounding them onto the page), or practise writing the child’s name, or ----
(you may have some other useful ideas).

Lesson Nine: Jj…… pages 27 - 30
After each lesson you have been finding the flashcard for the letter you have covered for
that day. At the beginning of each following lesson you have been showing the
flashcards (one at a time) to your child and asking her/him to say the sound three times.
You have also been sounding out the three letter word from the chant, at the beginning
of each lesson.
Before Lesson Ten you can use some of the flashcards to make two letter sounding
words. To cover this activity you may need to make it the lesson for the day.
The two words you can make are – ‘it’ and ‘at’.
Note to tutor: Encourage your child to listen carefully to the sounds. Can they ‘hear’ the
word the sounds are making? This is an important skill. Some children find it easier
than others, but most children achieve it with a little practise. At this stage just ask your
child to sound the word a couple of times and blend the letters together into a word.
Give as much help as needed, (model it for your child), and then move on, without
labouring the point too much at this stage.
Put the ‘i’ and ‘t’ flashcards together, sound the word with your child, blend the
letters together to make the word ‘it’.
Put the ‘a’ and ‘t’ flashcards together, sound the word with your child, blend the
words together to make the word ‘at’.
Ask your child to write the words ‘it’ and ‘at’ using correct pencil hold and letter
formation:
This is giving him/her practise at writing the letters.
It is giving her/him the chance to see that letters and sounds go
together to make words.

Note to Tutor: Before Lesson Fifteen, practise sounding out more words.
Put the flashcards together, sound out the word, and then blend the sounds into the
word.
Ask your child to write the words.
Words you can blend with the sounds covered so far are:
an am at in
ran man can tan
(It is good to have words that end in the same sound and all you have to do is change
the first letter to make a new word. Comment to your child that these words rhyme.)
cat mat rat
jam ram dam
Note to Tutor: Do not labour this activity too much. If you feel your child needs to
practise this skill, make it the lesson for the day. If your child needs more time to
practise this skill take five minutes here and there to do it. Short, on the task sessions are
preferable to long, arduous sessions. Keep the atmosphere cheerful. Praise every effort.
Lesson Fifteen: Uu…… pages 61 - 64
Lesson Sixteen: Yy…… pages 72 - 74
Lesson Seventeen: Vv……pages 65 and 66
Lesson Eighteen: Ww……pages 67 and 68
Lesson Nineteen: Bb…… pages 3-5, plus template for the blue box.
Lesson Twenty:
It is important for your child to be able to sound out three letter words and to be able to
write (sound) them down. This lesson will practise this skill.
Use the child’s flashcards to make the words.
After each set of words ask your child to write the words. It is good if he/she can write
each word by sounding it down onto the paper, rather than copying it from the
flashcards.
Note: It is important to cover this exercise, but remember, don’t make it too arduous for
your child. Be sensitive of your child’s development. If she/he can do most of this work
with minimal help that is great, but give the help your child needs to complete it. It is
important to be conscience of the length of your child’s concentration span. You may
need two short lessons to cover the work. This is the huge plus of being tutored one-to-
one. The child can be kept on task.

and mouth.
Lesson Twenty Three: Ff… pages 15 - 18
Lesson Twenty Four: Ss…… pages 55 and 56, plus two sheets for sun mobile.
Lesson Twenty Five: Time for more sounding and writing of three letter words.
Note to Tutor: Now is a good time to mention vowels and consonants. Do not expect
your child to remember these words, but they will remember more than you think.
Notice how the letters a e i o and u occur in a lot of words. These five letters are called
(short) vowels. The rest of the letters in the alphabet are called consonants.
As the vowels ‘e’ and ‘o’ were introduced in Lessons 21 and 22, words using these
vowels will be used in this lesson.
Make each set of words with the flashcards first, just changing the first letter of each
word. As each word is made sound it out, and then say the word by blending the sounds
together.
At this stage, when the words are in sets, it is good to combine the sound of the last two
letters.
e.g. instead of sounding get as g-e-t, sound it as g-et.
Writing the word:
Tutor, say the word, sound out the word, say the word again, and then ask your child to
write it. If your child can write the word without looking at the flashcards this is good.
If she/he still cannot do this, ask them to look at the word, sound out the word (while
looking at it), now write the word, sounding it down onto the paper.

Why have some words (Ted, Meg, Len, Ben, Todd) got capital letters?
log dog cog jog bog fog
cot dot lot jot not rot box fox
well bell tell yell sell fell (Reminder: ‘ll’=’l’)
Note to Tutor:
Take as many sessions as you need to cover Lesson Twenty Five.
Pace your child according to her/his concentration span and development,
and take as many days as he/she needs to comfortably complete the task.
If your child is competent at sounding three letter words they will have fun making up
words of their own with the flashcards.
At this stage too, it is a good time to buy (or borrow from a library) books which have a
lot of three letter sounding words in them, as your child will be able to read a lot of the
book. Read the book with the child and help them with the words he/she cannot sound
out. The ‘Dr Seuss’ books are an excellent series to use. They come in various levels of
difficulty, so choose the easy books first. You don’t have to read the entire book in one
sitting. Use a bookmark and read on next time. (This is what adults do.)

Chant: kite blowing kisses k k k k-i-ss, kiss k k k
Instructions for making your kite:
1. Colour the circles following this key:
b = blue r = red y = yellow
2. Cut the kite out. 3. Fold the kite in half – with the circles on the outside. 4. Cut along the dotted line in the mouth. Be careful not
to cut outside the mouth. 5. Open kite out again. 6. The next folding is difficult, so you may need an adult
to help you. The aim is to fold just the lines of the diamond which make up the mouth.
Hold the kite facing you. Fold each line individually.

one slice of white bread glue water
Method
1. Remove the crusts from the bread. 2. Put - one teaspoon of glue and ¼ teaspoon of water
onto the slice of bread.
3. You may wish to add a few drops of food colouring. 4. Knead the bread until it does not stick to your fingers. (5-10 minutes)

Chant: the yaks are yachting y y y, y-a-k, yak y y y
How to make your expanding yak:
1. Paint the (big) yak on page 73 with brown paint. 2. While it is drying, colour in the yaks that are yachting. 3. Carefully cut out the painted yak. 4. Fold on the fold line, so the line is on the outside. 5. Carefully cut the straight lines from the fold to the end of the
line. Be careful not to cut any further than the line or the yak will fall apart.
6. Turn the yak around so its horns are facing you. Carefully cut the lines from the yaks back to the fold line.
To do this you will need to cut straight from the edge of the paper to the yaks back, and along the line. This will cut through the yaks body on the other side. This is OK as long as you stop cutting at the end of the line.
7. Carefully unfold the yak and press it flat. 8. Grasp each end of the fold line, and gently pull.

The next step: Work through these stages at your child’s pace. Some children pick it up easily, others need more time. Stage One: The first sound a child hears when sounding out a word is the beginning sound. During these lessons so far we have concentrated on the beginning (initial) sounds in words. Check that your child can give you the sound a word begins with. It can be any word, not necessarily a three letter word. Ask your child: “What sound does the word ‘boat’ begin with?” “What sound does (say child’s name) begin with?’ “What sound does the word ‘queen’ begin with? Stage Two: When your child is confident with hearing and giving the initial sound in a word move on to the next step, which is identifying the final sound in a word. Say to your child, ‘You are used to telling me the sound a word begins with, NOW I want you to listen for the LAST sound in the word.” At first use three letter words your child is familiar with. e.g. bat, sun, lid, fox. Ask the child to watch your mouth as you say the word clearly. Emphasise the final sound until your child is confident with identifying it. Practise with your child until he/she has mastered this skill. Frequent short sessions are better than long sessions. If there are any letter-sounds your child cannot quickly say from the alphabet flashcards practise them every day. Stage Three: Now that your child can identify the initial and final sounds in a word she/he can move on to listening for the middle sound in a word. To help this skill develop the five vowels –a,e,i,o,u- will be covered. Work at your child’s pace. Take one, two or more days to cover each section. Each section will include reading sentences and simple comprehension exercises.

Medial sound ‘a’:
1. Look at these words. Read them.
(Tutor Note: your child may be able to read the words without sounding them out. This is good. If she/he cannot read a word without sounding it out, ask her/him to sound it out and then blend it into a word.)
cat rat mat fat bat hat
2. Circle the ‘a’ sound in each word. Notice it is the middle sound.
3. Sound out each word, listening for the ‘a’ sound.
4. Read the sentence in the box. -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tutor Note: This is the process to follow when your child is reading sentences during the next few sessions.
Your child reads as much of the sentence as he/she can, sounding out any unknown words which can be sounded out.
Help your child with the look-say words. (e.g. The, the)
If your child needed help or had to sound out words, ask him/her to read the sentence again, as fluently as possible, pointing to the words as she/he reads. This makes her/him look at the words, so he/she is reading them rather than saying them off by heart.
Now that your child can read words it is important to string them together into sentences. This is how we read. Reading sentences and understanding what we read is also helping to develop reading comprehension skills. Drawing a picture about the sentence is a simple comprehension exercise.

Phonic Pack One for Parents, Tutors and Teachers
I have prepared this Phonic Pack especially for parents to work with their children at
home.
Tutors and teachers will also find the lessons invaluable as they progressively and
systematically work through a direct phonic programme. The lessons also cover
comprehension skills, the writing of sentences, encourage the correct spelling of
words and neat presentation of work.
I know time is an issue for most families (and school timetables) so I have included
interesting activities which, for the most part, are not time consuming, but to the
point.
Working through this Phonic Pack will compliment your child’s school reading
programme. This is a complete phonic programme for a teacher to use in the
classroom, as an important part of your complete reading programme.
I have used a variety of activities to make the learning interesting and to develop
different skills.
I have included the writing of the letters with the learning of the sounds because
they are so easily integrated, and because I know children need to practise both if
they are to become proficient. For teachers, this approach painlessly integrates your
phonic and handwriting programmes. NB You can easily adjust your handwriting
programme if you are not using Foundation Print letter formations. Your child will
be introduced to the basic letter formations, using Foundation Print. Encourage
your child to form the letters correctly, as good habits now will lead to acceptable
standards of handwriting and presentation of work in the future.
I have included an Interesting Extra section with each sound because children have
an insatiable appetite for knowledge and so many things can be learnt and discussed
by expanding on the activities in this Pack. These activities integrate into other
learning areas such as English, Mathematics, Science, Society and Environment,
Health and The Arts. I encourage you to use these suggestions, plus many of your
own ideas, to help foster your child’s natural curiosity. Your child will be carried
along with your enthusiasm. Teachers will be able to expand on these extra activity
ideas to integrate the various learning areas in their programmes.
Children learn and understand by building on the knowledge they already have, so
developing extra activities around the work the child is doing is invaluable for the
child.
It is important for you to develop a routine for working through the lessons. One
huge advantage of this pack is that the child will have one-to-one tutoring. It is
important for your child to have your attention and guidance for each lesson.
It is important for your child to know you are positive, enthusiastic and happy to be
committed to this programme.
There is a pattern repeated with each lesson. Children like routine so this will help
build your child’s confidence as you work through the Pack.
Be liberal with your encouragement and praise for genuine effort. Your child is
going to enjoy the learning more if he/she is succeeding.
Another huge advantage of the Parent Phonic Pack is that your child can move
through it at her/his own pace.
As you move through the Pack, keep the pages which explain how to form the
letters. They will be invaluable for future reference.

How to use this Phonic Pack. (2)
1. For the purpose of this programme each letter has a name and a sound.
It is the sound of the letter we are going to emphasise while we are
covering the single sounds. This is most important.
Take letter ‘a’, for instance.
You say to your child - ‘ay’ is its name, ‘a’ (as in c-a-t) is its sound.
NOTE: Of course ‘a’ does sound differently in some words such as
in father. Do not worry about this for the moment. If the word crops up just
explain that in this word ‘a’ makes an ‘ar’ sound.
You do not say the words in brackets. They are there to help you with
the sound of the letter. As you will be aware, it is difficult to convey
the sound of a letter in writing.
2. For each letter of the alphabet I have chosen a three letter word which starts
with that sound. e.g. a-ant, b-box, c-cat. I have done this because, as you
progress through the lessons, your child will be able to sound out the word.
It is good for you to model sounding out three letter sounding words from
the first lesson – your child will soon get the idea.
3. Each lesson begins with a Chant. Children like the rhythm of language and
will enjoy repeating the chant. At the end of the chant the letter for that
lesson is repeated three times allowing your child to hear the sound of the
letter.
To begin the lesson, say the chant to your child, pointing to the words as you
read and getting your child to follow along with you. Ask your child to
repeat the chant (about) three times. Encourage your child to point to the
words and the letters as they say them.
This activity encourages many positive outcomes:
(a) Left to right eye movement (we read from left to right).
(b) Teaches your child that each set of letters make a word.
(c) Makes your child look at the words and especially at the shape of the
letter.
(d) Your child is reading (even if you have modelled it first). This builds
confidence in reading.
(e) Ask your child to tell you any words in the chant that begins with
that days sound. At first you may have to repeat the chant slowly and
deliberately so your child hears the sound.
4. After each chant, the key word for the day is repeated in Foundation Print.. The idea is to sound the word out (a-n-t), then blend the sounds
together again (ant), then say the sound three times.
© Glenys Deutscher www.phonics.site

5. An activity, involving the key word, follows the chant. Follow the directions
for each activity. Point to the words as you read the directions with your
child. Explain to your child that it is a good idea to read the instructions first,
before beginning the activity. Let your child do what he/she can of the
activity with minimal help. It is an important skill to be able to listen to and
follow directions. Cheerfully give help when needed, and praise all best
efforts.
6. Thinking of five words that begin with the sound of the day encourages your
child to listen for the sound a word begins with. At first your child may need
help, but will soon catch on to the idea. Ticking the box is a ‘good feel’
activity, and helps your child see how many words he/she has thought of and
how many to go.
7. Interesting Extra: I have included this because children are always interested
in learning and doing more. It is an activity you can work on together and
hopefully an enjoyable experience for both of you. Children learn and
remember best if the things they are doing are expanding on what they
already know.
8. Writing the letter in Foundation Print (or whatever print your child is
learning at your school) also has positive outcomes: (a) This is the script your child will be using at school.
(b) Your child is learning to recognise both typed and Foundation Print
letters.
(c) Your child will be learning the correct way to form the letters. This
will lead to neater, more fluent writing and well presented work in
the future.
(d) Children learn well when observing. As this programme facilitates
you to work one-to-one with your child you can model the correct
pencil hold and letter formation for him/her, and good habits will be
formed.

9. Cover the letters/sounds in the following order.
They are grouped into letter formation families:
a c d g q I t l j m n r x z u y v w b e o f s h k p
10. Flashcards for lower case letters:
At the end of each lesson ask your child to find the flashcard of the lower
case letter/ sound for that day. At first, present it with only about six other
flashcards for your child to choose from. Keep the sounds you have covered
in a separate pile and ask your child to tell you the sounds at the beginning
of each following lesson.
When you get enough flashcards you can make two and three letter words
with them and ask you child to sound out the word.
11. A worthwhile activity is to ask your child to tell you words that rhyme.
You could say, “cat”, and your child could say “bat”.
At first you may need to explain rhyming words but your child will soon
understand.

12. If your child writes with her/his left hand he/she will (probably) want to
write the short horizontal strokes in capital letters from right to left, instead of from left to right as shown in the lessons.
The capital letters which will be formed differently by a child writing with his/her left
hand are:
A E F H T

Pencil Grip
It is important for children to practise using the pencil grip, as illustrated. This is the grip suggested for maximum flexibility and control. It also allows the child to write fluently and neatly as his/her writing style develops and she/he needs to write more quickly. The writing implement is held between the thumb and middle finger, with the index finger resting on top. The thumb should be slightly bent, and the writing implement held firmly but not tight. The index finger should not press too heavily on the pencil. When writing (or drawing) the writing implement should not be pressed too heavily onto the paper. If the writing shows on the next page (like tracing) your child is pressing too heavily on the paper.
Right-handed pencil grip:
Left-handed pencil grip:
Alphabet Sheet: (1) when your child has finished learning the alphabet letters use this sheet to point to the letters as he/she sings the alphabet song. (2) use it as an easy reference for the shape of the letters. (3) use as a guide when/if your child is learning about alphabetical order.
