Read! Spell! Do! Cards Level 1 can be used once students are able to blend and segment words using only the alphabet sounds. Level 1-1 uses words of just 1 or 2 syllable, with level 1-2 using some multi-syllable words and double consonants. Level 2 uses the 16 double sounds introduced in NFO. Keywords in level 2-1 use ea, ee, sh, ch, ar, ou, oo (foot) and oo (spoon) and level 2-2 uses ow (cow), ir, oy, or, oa, ow (window), ai and ay. The sounds have been used evenly throughout. Level 3-1 continues with phonic patterns using magic E, th (that), th (bath, er, or (doctor) then moving into level 3-2 which uses common irregularly spelt words, many of which are found in New Finding Out. Level 4 has moved away from phonics and the focus has shifted from nouns and verbs to adjectives and adverbs and as you can see the spell cards can be used to introduce the comparative and superlative. Level 4-2 is not yet available. 80 cards to a pack |
