PR-6216IRE Reading For Success - Book 1

Phonics
Beginning sounds
Clothes peg games
Reproduce the Clothes peg games onto card (pages 55 and 56). Colour the cards and write the answers
on the back for self-checking. Laminate the cards for durability. Referring to the directions at the bottom
of each game, write the letter that corresponds to the beginning sound of each picture on the clothes
pegs. You will want to write the corresponding letter on both sides of each clothes peg.
Each pupil takes one card and the labelled clothes pegs that
go with it. Have him/her look at each picture and say the
word. The pupil must then clip the clothes peg with the
corresponding letter on the card near the picture. The pupil
self-checks his/her answers by flipping the card over. You
may wish to store the game card and the clothes pegs
together in a large, resealable plastic bag.
Medial and ending sounds
Once pupils have mastered matching initial sounds and
letters, create new clothes pegs with the ending or medial sounds of the words. Use the same cards;
however, be sure to mark the back of each card with the correct answer for the new directions. This way
pupils can still self-check.
Complete the word
Extend pupils’ understanding of how letters work together
to form words. Reproduce pages 57–59 on card, cut out
and colour the cards. Write the answers on the back for
self-checking and laminate the cards for durability. Label
clothes pegs with the vowel and consonant letters, one
letter per clothes peg. Pupils must look at the picture on the
card and identify the beginning sound. They then clip the
corresponding clothes peg onto the card to be the first
letter in the word. Have pupils practise reading the word
once all of the letters of the word are in place.
