Aligned to the Australian Curriculum

The Targeting Phonics series uses systematic synthetic phonics and follows the learning progression in the Australian Curriculum.

 

This book includes a short revision of the 26 letters covered in Book 1, then students learn:

  • the long vowel sounds a, e, i, o and u, and different ways of spelling them.
  • the consonant digraphs sh, ch, th (voiced and unvoiced), ph, ng and wh.
  • about using the letters c and k when spelling words with the hard c sound.
  • about the soft c and soft g sounds.
  • that the digraph oo can be used to represent both a long vowel sound and a short vowel sound.
  • that the letter s can be used to represent different sounds.

 

Each unit includes a:

  • pictorial Sound Card with an audio component, that lets children hear each sound pronounced correctly before they complete the activities.
  • QR code that links to the video of each sound.
  • handwriting activity for reinforcing muscle memory to remember each letter and encourage fluent handwriting skills.
