Phonics for Pupils with Special Educational Needs Activity Book 2: Building Words

Activity Book 2: Building Words, 2nd edition is the second book in the Phonics for Pupils with Special Educational Needs programme, a systematic, synthetic phonics programme designed for learners with additional needs. Book 2 reinforces pupils’ knowledge of the basic sounds explored in Book 1 and uses these to build longer words with adjacent consonants.

Fully revised, this 2nd edition focuses on words of three, four and five sounds. Words are grouped according to their pattern of vowels and consonants, with each set containing more than 35 engaging activities, centred on blending and segmenting words with adjacent consonants, whilst working on developing automaticity and fluency. New activities include letter sliders, sentence building, dictation and fluency practice. There are also lesson planners to support formal and semi-formal delivery, a movable alphabet and infographics for both pupils and staff. For learners with a greater complexity of needs, there is a suite of resourced strategies to enable access to the activities and programme materials.

This book is the second instalment of the basic code section of the Phonics for Pupils with SEN programme. Offering tried-and-tested material which can be printed for each use, this is an invaluable resource to simplify phonics teaching. It supports easy delivery for teachers, teaching assistants and tutors, and it provides a fun, accessible way of teaching literacy for all children.
