A-Minute-A-Day Phonics [US version]: 31 photocopiable 1 minute phonic challenges. Using precision-teaching principles, they offer focused practice ... of the child. A teacher timesaver. (Volume 3)

Homework without tears! If you are keen to help your child read more fluently, you will certainly find *A-MINUTE-A-DAY PHONICS interesting. A-MINUTE-A-DAY PHONICS [US] is not a scheme of work. It is a method of supporting/ fine-tuning the phonics work already being undertaken at school. It provides useful evidence that a child really has achieved fluency in a particular skill. It is a no-nonsense way to harness the co-operation of parents and the enthusiasm of the child. The teacher/classroom assistant needs only A-MINUTE-A-DAY to monitor progress, thus preserving valuable teaching time. The book contains 31 photocopiable precision-teaching games, covering an extensive range of phonic skills and is wholly compatible with SYNTHETIC PHONICS. Every game follows the same procedure and requires the child to give 30 correct verbal responses within 1 minute. No writing skills are needed. *A-MINUTE-A-DAY PHONICS and its partner A-MINUTE-A-DAY MATHS have been used extensively throughout the UK since 1999, in both Mainstream and Special Needs schools.
