Reading Made Simple |
These are the supporting resources which we have available to help you to teach Level 3 of Reading Made Simple, a 100% FREE phonic reading and writing programme. Phonic Word Lists for Level 3This is a PDF file containing a list of the words in each of the phonic families taught in Level 3. It is helpful for revision, of which much is needed in Level 3, for pupils much have as much exposure to the new words as possible in order for them to be stored in the long term memory, for automatic recall as pupils will not necessarily spend a week learning each new sound, if studying only for reading. Level 3 Reading BooksThese books are not as graded as those written for Level 1, but if read after the indicated lesson has been taught, the child will have the phonic knowledge to cope with most, if not all of the text.
Pleas be guided by your child's ability as to whether a book is suitable for your pupil at any given point - some are more challenging length-wise. These are all good books to read and you can always come back to them later. Here is a list of the resources available to support you in the teaching of Level 2 of Reading Made Simple, a 100% FREE phonic reading and writing programme. As for Level 1, we have a range of resources to support learning. Of course, we cannot cover for every eventuality. Thankfully the web is full of wonderful ideas to help children over certain difficulties. Therefore, if your child is still stuck with something after having been taught a lesson, be it Powerful 'e' (often called Silent 'e', Magic 'e' or Lazy-e) or when to use er/ir/ur, or whatever it is, then please feel free to browse for ideas to try with your child. You do not need to use any of these free resources. By just doing the lessons as outlined each week, the programme can still be successful. Word Family Lists A PDF file with the words for each phonic family taught in Level 2 listed with the new sound highlighted in red. Suitable for mid-week use and revision. If printing in colour is a problem, then print in black ad white and ask the child to mark the new sound letters with a red marked pen. Phonic WorkbooksFollowing on from Level 1, these workbooks give plenty of exercises in:
These phonic workbooks can be found on the individual lesson pages. Reading Intervention Decodable Reading BooksIf your child has come to Reading Made Simple, can decode to tooo great a degree to have to go right back to Level 1, but is guessing too much, then these books can help to refocus the pupil on all of the sounds in a words, rather than just a few.
The books assume the that the child knows the basic sounds taught in Level 1, and gradually expands vocabulary and ability to sound out more complex words, as the child works through level 2 to consolidate his/her skills. Find out more here. As Level 1 is so important and often the hardest for learners, we have a range of resources to support learning. Of course, we cannot cover every eventuality. Thankfully the web is full of wonderful ideas to help children over certain difficulties. Therefore, if your child is still stuck with something after having been taught a lesson, be it Powerful 'e' (often called Silent 'e', Magic 'e' or Lazy-e) or when to use er/ir/ur, or whatever it is, then please feel free to browse for ideas to try with your child. You do not need to use any of these free resources. You can make your own flashcards, for example. You may not like/need the reading books* or work books/worksheets or games, but by just doing the lessons as outlined each week, the programme can still be successful. * However your child will progress more easily and smoothly if you can use them as the key to any good reading programme is a structured reading scheme that matches the order in which sounds are introduced in the Phonic programme.. Phonic Word Family ListsThese are handy lists of words for each lesson. Print and display after the lesson for frequent review with your pupil. Sounds ChartUse as a poster or laminate and make into a place mat. Children love to keep track of their progress as they move through the sounds! FlashcardsConvenient and easy to print and use, we provide phonic and odd words flashcards. Print on card as they will be used time and time again and must withstand frequent use. Laminate for durability. Phonic Decodable Reading booksThese reading books are matched to the progression of the sounds introduced in Level 1. Starting with /ck/, the books only use words that can be sounded out using phonic sounds learnt so far. This means that:
As children move through Level 1, many will start to see patterns in words for themselves and read more widely, however we offer support for those that require it. Phonic WorkbooksThe Level 1 phonic workbooks give extra practice spelling and reading words containing the new sound. They have been written particularly for the younger child, so some children may not need them. The workbooks give vital practice in:
