Read and Write is the sixth program in the Clicker Phonics series and the second part of the Let’s Go! stage. In the Let’s Go stage of the Clicker Phonics series, children are ready for synthetic phonics! This CD-ROM follows the current recommendations for phonics teaching, and can be used alongside other phonics schemes, including Jolly Phonics. Engaging activities build children’s fluency in hearing, saying, reading and writing all 42 phonemes. The activities develop the skills children need to be able to decode unknown words by working out the phonemes, reading them in order, and blending them to read the words.

With Read and Write, children:

• practise and reinforce their synthetic phonic knowledge and skills through a wide range of reading, writing and spelling activities
  
• tackle new and unknown words by applying their skill of blending phonemes from left to right

Many opportunities for the application of synthetic phonics skills are presented in fun stories that have decodable text.

The Tricky words and Quick sounds activities are an ideal introduction to the CD and revise skills and knowledge learnt in Sounds and Letters. There are also some additional extension activities which can be carried out independently from the letter groups. The Word challenge activities enable children to consolidate their phonics skills in reading more challenging words. In My writing, children write a series of progressively difficult, phonically decodable sentences.

The CD is then divided into 7 accumulative letter groups. This means that children can work at appropriate levels and progress through the groups as their confidence with an increasing range of phonemes and graphemes grows.

The following sets of activities are included within each accumulative letter group:

Stories – Read

Each group contains 2 stories; Story 1, a picture book with a simple sentence on each page, and Story 2, consisting of a number of sentences on a single page. The Read versions of the stories enable children to practise blending sounds to decode (or read) text in simple sentences.

Stories – Record

The Record versions of Story 1 and Story 2 enable children to demonstrate their reading skills using their phonic knowledge and blending skills. They are given the opportunity to record themselves reading the story.

Stories – Write

The Write versions of the stories give children the opportunity to make their own on-screen stories. Story 1 offers a high level of support as children write each sentence word by word, using only the graphemes they need for each word. In Story 2, they write using all the graphemes needed for the sentence.

Stories – Sentences / Questions

Story 1 is also accompanied by a Sentences activity, in which children read incomplete sentences based on the text and choose words to fill the gaps. For Story 2, there is a Questions activity, where children listen to questions about the story and select sentences as answers.

Reading activities

Two further reading activities are included in each group. Quick read presents children with flashcards of phonically decodable words from the stories. Help me read gives them the opportunity to read and record sentences that include phonically decodable and ‘tricky’ words.

Writing activities

Two further writing activities are included in each group. In Write the word, children look at incomplete sentences and write words to fill the gaps. In Help me write, children first listen to a dictated sentence and then segment the sounds in each word to encode (or spell) it, using the graphemes to write each word in turn.

Clicker Phonics Background

The Clicker Phonics series gets your children going with phonics and delivers engaging materials at the right level for their needs. It is designed to be used alongside any phonics scheme, including Jolly Phonics, and takes children from the first steps of discriminating environmental sounds right up to systematic synthetic phonics.

Using the proven technology of Clicker, Clicker Phonics:

• develops speaking and listening skills and builds phonological awareness.
  
• presents a programme of systematic phonic work
  
• supports active learning through listening and recording as students get to record their own voices as they build words phonetically.

You will find Clicker Phonics an easy yet incredibly powerful way to use computers and information technology to support all your 3-to-6-year-olds, plus older students who are struggling with reading. Perfect for English language learners too!

All the activities are carefully designed to be used in both whole-class teaching with the whiteboard or touchscreen monitor, and for individual work.

This software is included on the Clicker SuperDrive.
