Why eBooks? | ||||||||||||||||||
Providing you with these homeschooling resources in eBook format is a real asset! | ||||||||||||||||||

What's in the eBooks and why are they special? | ||||||||||||||||||
These eBooks include everything you need to support you for your homeschool teaching purposes and your child for his or her learning purposes. They enable constant, sustained practice in the required alphabetic code knowledge and the three core skills and sub-skills of reading, spelling and handwriting. The teaching and learning processes are permanently visual, tangible and very rewarding for adult and child alike. They introduce systematically 117 letters and letter groups which are code for all the smallest sounds of speech (the letter/s-sound correspondences of the English alphabetic code). They also introduce additional correspondences (such as 'tt' and 'dd') and common words with unusual spellings (such as 'eir' in 'their' and 'eo' in 'people') throughout the 200+ cumulative sentences and texts. |

The Teaching and Learning Cycle: | ||||||||||||||||||
The eBooks are 'teaching' and 'learning' books with resources for you, the adult, to introduce and model new alphabetic code with provided words for reading, spelling and writing - and content-rich resources for your homeschooled child to learn and apply the new code using the three core skills of decoding (reading), encoding (spelling) and handwriting from word level to sentence and text level. |

||||||||||||||||||
'Cumulative' teaching and learning: | ||||||||||||||||||
Resources are designed for constant 'revisit and review' routines to consolidate previous learning to mastery, automaticity and fluency. Revisit the graphemes provided in 'cumulative' grids at the front of every eBook - but also revisit previous sentences and texts to build up reading fluency for greater word recognition over time. Introduce new learning with larger-scale graphemes (letters or letter groups) linked to key picture-words which are also used on the overview Alphabetic Code Charts. A list of 'cumulative' words, with the focus grapheme in different positions in the words, provide demonstration words for modelling the sounding out and blending. You, the adult, will use the writing lines to model handwriting of the letter or letter group and also to model the spelling-with-editing routine using 'sound dashes'. Guidance for the phonics 'hand routines' for reading and spelling is provided in the eBooks. |

Learner-practice resources: | ||||||||||||||||||
At first, your child practises saying the focus sound whilst finger-tracking and writing the grapheme. Small pictures generate spoken words to listen out for the focus sound (a sub-skill of spelling which is called 'phonemic awareness' or, awareness of the smallest sounds within spoken words). Your child draws the key-picture which helps to embed the prompt-word in memory. Your child then practises reading/decoding with 'cumulative' words or sentences and then practises spelling some words with the focus letter/s-sound correspondence on writing lines using the scaffolded 'sound dashes' routine. Then, there is further reinforcement of the new code knowledge in three cumulative lines of practice for reading and writing. This can range from copywriting to self-dictation (cover over the sentence and your child 'holds it in memory' to re-write it) or dictation (you say the sentence). As an extension, your child can write (or talk about) 'what happens next'. So, having decoded the words, what do the words mean? Develop the themes for 'language comprehension' - making meaning of the content and speaking further about it and then your child becomes the 'illustrator'. The sentences and texts provide opportunities for vocabulary enrichment (new words) and the introduction of aspects of grammar, punctuation, word classes and so on. Finally, still with a focus on the new letter/s-sound correspondence, your child reads further cumulative text - which may include occasional bits of additional code introduced incidentally, high-frequency words and tricky words. The text themes provide aids to memory for building up spelling word banks - words spelt with the same letter/s-sound correspondences. |

The Alphabetic Code built up in 8 steps: | ||||||||||||||||||
At the beginning of every eBook, the alphabetic code is provided as a chart including the letter/s-sound correspondences introduced in the previous book- and the correspondences introduced in the latest book. Along with each chart, there are important snippets of alphabetic code information for you, the adult, to share with your child - and also some of Debbie's Top Tips for incidental phonics teaching. |

In the Unit 6b eBook's chart, we list the complete range of correspondences from the full Phonics International programme: |

The order of introducing the letter/s-sound correspondences in the eBooks: | ||||||||||||||||||
Debbie has continued with the same order of introducing the correspondences as in Phonics International for Units 1 to 6. In addition, however, she has included some letter/s-sound correspondences from later units in Phonics International to provide very comprehensive coverage by the end of the last eBook. Please note that because of the large number of letter/s-sound correspondences introduced in Units 2 and 6, we needed to create two books each for Unit 2 and Unit 6 which we have labelled Unit 2a, Unit 2b, Unit 6a and Unit 6b. This series of 8 eBooks take your child to a high level of reading and spelling. The letter/s-sound correspondences introduced systematically are:

Teach about the 'alphabet' and 'alphabetical order' too: | ||||||||||||||||||
You need to teach about both the 'alphabet' and its role, and the 'alphabetic code' and its role. The eBooks include letter formation of the 26 lower case and 26 upper case letter shapes starting with print - with guidance for teaching fully joined writing for lower case in the Unit 6 eBook. You can use your judgement when to teach your child joined handwriting to use for the 'apply and extend' writing activities within the eBooks.

What does the series of 8 eBooks cost? | ||||||||||||||||||
If you reckon on teaching your child to read, spell and write over say a 2 year period (and there's certainly more than enough material in the eBooks for that), then the cost-per-day works out at a little over 6 pence (9 cents) a day! So our Buy NOW price of only £47 (plus VAT where applicable) represents incredible value for money and with our unique money-back guarantee you really cannot lose! |

A 29 page eBook of 'cut out' Grapheme Tiles and Key Picture Tiles with suggestions for their use: These are the same graphemes and key pictures which are introduced throughout the 8 eBooks allowing you to use the 'cut out' tiles as 'manipulative' resources for helping your child to recall the sound the graphemes are code for; to 'spell' by selecting the grapheme tiles which are code for the sounds identified all-through-the-spoken-word (hear 'boat', identify the sounds /b/ /oa/ /t/, select the grapheme tiles b - oa - t); and to decode cumulative words that you have made from the grapheme tiles for your child to read. |
