This pack introduces children to words containing ay, such as play and holiday, and ai, such as aim and explain. When learning to read, children need to recognise that ai and ay are two different ways of writing the same long a sound. Learning these patterns will help children recognise and read unfamiliar words more accurately.
Children will read the short story about Sam’s Saturday and all the different activities he does. It includes lots of words containing ai and ay, giving children plenty of opportunity to practise reading these words in context. Read the story several times to help your child become familiar with these words and how they are said. Afterwards, there is a cut-out activity where children match individual words and phrases containing ai and ay to the pictures.
This pack is useful for children who are learning to read words with this sounds, as well as children who need extra practice. Repeated reading will help children become more confident at recognising these letter patterns, choosing the correct sound and reading the words more easily and fluently.
The story is taken from the fifth book in our Learn To Read With Phonics reading scheme. We have split the book into separate resources for those looking for extra help in a particular area. To purchase the complete book, click here.
