READING AND SPELLLING TOOLKIT

Updated: Jun 20



Reading, spelling, and writing support each other, yet they are often taught as separate areas of the literacy curriculum. Linking them together helps children see how reading works. Teaching the sound-symbol correspondence through switching sound games provides all children with the building blocks they need to learn to read successfully.


My Reading and Spelling Toolkit offers a systematic multi-modal approach that provides all educators with engaging resources to support active learning in their classrooms or homes. The kit is suitable for learners who know their basic sounds A-Z and letter names, and can effortlessly build CVC words.


This beautifully designed and illustrated kit systematically works through the alphabet code. The multisensory nature of word-building develops strong spelling by focusing on patterns rather than rules, and this builds confidence and a love of learning.


I have carefully curated the word lists to develop the skills needed for fluency—they are not your average spelling list! They can be printed as a book or individually to play the sound swap game. Each sound has an alternative spelling bookmark, word lists, printables, and spelling instruction. Learning to spell should be a continuum.

Playfully teach segmenting and blending systematically.


The kit will align with all phonics programs. I use Phonic books decodable readers, so these resources would pair beautifully with the Sounds-Write program.


All children need to have effortless sound-symbol correspondence to become fluent readers. Word building helps children to seek out individual letters and letter strings to assist them when decoding unknown words. Building words can also lead to discussions about what words mean and how similar words can change the meaning of sentences. Use the word cards to add words to sentences, encourage children to make meaning, and expand and develop vocabulary.
