Postal Phonics Course: Simple Digraph

Postal Course: Simple Digraph

(Course Ref: SD)

Summary

A fun introduction to sounds made by combinations of letters: sh, ch, th, oo, ee, or.
The course runs over 6 weeks, extending both reading and spelling skills.

What does the course cover?

A digraph is a pair of letters representing a single speech sound. For example, when 's' and 'h' combine, a single 'sh...' sound results (as in 'ship'). The course covers 6 of the most common digraphs. The child learns to recognise and use them to read words, as well as extending early spelling skills. Some sight words, from the Reception year list, are also included in this course.

What type of activities are provided?

A typical pack will contain:

an original Jolly Phonics craft activity, which strongly reinforces the sound being taught
a page, to be completed and compiled into a sounds booklet - this gives practice at reading digraph-containing words
a card 'cut-out', building up a collection of graphemes, and practising cursive writing
a fun work-sheet, practising reading or spelling skills
sight-word cards
a game or idea for related web-based activity

Is my child ready for this course?

The course is suitable immediately before starting school, or during the Reception year. The child should already be familiar with letters, and should know a substantial number of letter sounds. (If not, try Pre-School Postal Phonics Course)

How much does the course cost?

The total cost for the course of 6 packs is £63, inclusive of postage and packing. This is payable in advance.
