How to make your own phonics resources
Teachers use the Phonics Toolkit to introduce the whole class to graphemes, phonemes, images and words. This supports explicit teaching of phonological and phonemic awareness, and alphabet and phonic knowledge. After explicit teaching, the resources can be used by students in small group practice activities. This booklet provides tips for easy use of the ‘Make your own’ templates.
