Phonics Resources for Functional Skills

Looking for resources to help you use phonics-based teaching approaches with your learners?

The books 'Phonics Resources for Older Learners' and 'Phonics Stories for Older Learners’ provide resources that will support your teaching of phonics in Entry Level Functional Skills and ESOL classes. They will supplement the curriculum outlined in the Post-16 Phonics Toolkit.

They gradually introduce the English alphabetic code in a structured sequence, similar to that seen in the Toolkit: from simple CVC words and 4-5 sound words (Basic Code), consonant digraphs (Basic Code Plus) to the more complex aspects of our code; dealing with alternative spellings for sounds and polysyllabic words, which corresponds to the ‘One-to-Many’ section of the Toolkit.

These books can also be purchased as downloads; ideal for online teaching.
