Why use these?
As a mum of 6 homeschooled children here in the UK, I’ve tried and tested a small variety of phonics resources over the years.
(When you teach that many children to read, you become a phonics detective – and occasionally a referee – please tell me why siblings hate each other one min and are besties the next!)
Firstly, one pattern I noticed, especially with smaller notebooks, is a lack of meaningful repetition. Not repeating the same worksheet until we are all ready to pull our hair out (or in my kids cases, each others hair!) – but rather not enough time spent on each stage.
Often phase 2 phonics and phase 3 phonics are introduced and then ticked off. Like literally one page worth sometimes!
Usually this is more noticeable in reception phonics and year 1 phonics, when children have learn the alphabet and are now trying to understand how phonics work and beginning to blend words.
More early reading practice is needed to really solidify that foundational knowldge.
