A collection of 150 unique games and activities to help support your teaching of phonics in the primary classroom. Following on from the success of their first gem 'Games, Ideas and Activities for Early Years Phonics', Gill Coulson and Lynn Cousins have written a companion gem 'Games, Ideas and Activities for Primary Phonics', introducing more advanced activities and offering a natural progression from the basic sounds introduced in the first book. The 150 activities in this new book will apply to children throughout the Foundation Year and Key Stage 1, but are equally useful for children who have moved into Key Stage 2 but are not yet confident with spelling and still need to reinforce their skills.
