Read Write Inc.: Magnetic Mini-Speed Sound Cards Pack of 10 (READ WRITE INC PHONICS)

Product Information

there are lots of different writing exercises: hold a sentence, where students have to hold a sentence from the book in their head and write it, edit a sentence, build a sentence, and finally writing the story, which is their version of the story written independently and prompted by pictures (although recently the books have changed so this section has changed slightly). As they move up the programme through the different levels the writing exercises are freer, less structured. The Magnetic Speed Sound Cards are very effective in helping children identify letter shapes and develop blending and segmenting skills, but – being magnetic – they can be difficult to store!

They read these words over and over, off the IWB and from their books - but it was still only about 20 different words)Story Introduction – print from the Read Write Inc. Phonics Online subscription on Oxford Owl if preferred

RWinc lessons should be pacey and punchy (if you have been trained properly). Personally I find the books a little dry. If you are a good teacher you will incorporate other ideas into your lessons, be creative and not always follow the weekly schedule to the letter. But to answer your questions: Place a sun-bleached letter matching mat on cookie sheet and invite children to match the letters to the correct spaces. Make an easy and engaging bingo game using magnetic letters, paper, a marker, and cookie sheets. Magnetic Letter Ideas VideoI don't expect each single lesson to mean progress, a lot of it is reinforcement of things that have been taught previously but may not have settled firmly enough (yet) in child's skill set; gotta get the basics strongly in there before moving on. RWI relies on rote activities to really embed in the child's brain the Learning Objective. In reception they spend a whole day on each letter; you'd think teaching "d" was a 5 minute job, but they made it into 200 minutes. Thing is, the child remembers D better that way, and for longer, because "D" made such a huge impression. And so on, with other letters & sound groups. Members of our group have found ingenious ways of organising their Magnetic Speed Sound Cards. Tina Marie (left) uses a multi-section screw box organiser to separate their Cards whilst Gina Claire (right) uses individual boxes. Did you know that magnetic letters are a powerful literacy learning tool? That’s right, you can create “gold nugget” activities right now that will help your kids learn the alphabet and other important emergent literacy skills.

Use a permanent marker and a cookie sheet to create a t-chart. Students can sort letters “in my name/not in my name”.

The best part about these activities is that you won’t break the bank or spend hours toiling away in your classroom to create stellar literacy activities, just grab a set of magnetic letters and you’re good to go!
