Supporting Phonics and Spelling for ages 7-8

Description

This series builds on Andrew's aptitude for making things really straight forward for less able pupils. It offers a systematic approach to spelling from the starting point of synthetic phonics through to the observation of phonic patterns in more complex words. Some of the children using this series will be working a year, or even two years behind their year group but the activities still need to be relevant, interesting and enable pupils to catch up with their peers. Repetition and practice are key features of the 'Supporting' series and every target in these books will have an introductory display page, focusing on a particular phoneme, followed by an activity page. All the books include 'target' record sheets showing NC objectives, templates for indiviual education plans, and progress charts to track achievement.

Andrew Brodie is particularly well qualified to write these books as he has extensive teaching experience and many of his exisiting titles are extremely popular with Special Needs teachers. Jan Brodie will act as consultant for the series. She is currently a special needs coordinator in a primary school. She has vast experience and a range of qualifications in special needs teaching including the teaching of dyselxic children.
