Jayne - good look with your Ofsted inspection!
I am in the process of making more material for the PI programme.
This includes
Alphabetic Code Frieze Posters and some
I can spell activities - so do keep your eyes on the website for these additional resources.
Can any of your children work happily in pairs?
The reason I ask is that there are some activities in the PI programme which lend themselves to be played with 'friends'.
For example, there are the
Pairs Games in units 1 to 6.
There are the new
Letters, Sounds and Pictures Matching Games in units 1 to 6.
Have you thought about a resource like the
Can Do Cubes which can be used alongside the PI programme? These are good to use on a one to one and small group basis and make good manipulatives - especially for learning the letter/s-sound correspondences to automaticity and for simple blending and segmenting purposes. You would only need the 'Home Edition' stage one set for your particular pupils at the moment. See
www.candocubes.com if these sound of interest to you.
The very simple activity of using just a very few
Grapheme Cards placed face downwards on the table for the learner to turn over and 'say the sound' - and keep the card if the sound is correct - can be a good learning activity.
Also, the
Say the Sounds posters and
Say the Sounds booklets might be good 'rehearsal' resources which could be used in cooperation with 'home' if this is appropriate.
I expect you are well aware of all these types of activities and will do them anyway!
Please don't hesitate to ask any advice about the ways you can use the PI programme in particular - and we are really looking forward to hearing how you get on with your four pupils.
