Teacher Guides, Year 1

Phonic Books Teacher Guide Year 1 is an essential resource for using the Dandelion range in a Year 1 setting or for intervention sessions.

The guide provides an overview of phonics, an overview of the Phonic Books programme, assessment, and guidance for pronunciation and teaching of high-frequency words. There are also structured lesson plans for varying amounts of time. These plans are full of engaging and effective activities which are easy to implement.

Each lesson is divided into five main sections: Revision, Preparation, Application, Consolidation and Tracking Progress. This enables each lesson to meet the phonics requirements, as well as more general literacy requirements, and ensure pupils are concurrently learning how to read for meaning from the start.
