This pack introduces children to words with the sounds wa, as in waddle, wallet and wash, war, as in swarm, reward and forward, and qua, as in quarrel, squabble and qualify. It also introduces words with the sounds gh, as in ghost, and ght, as in bright, as well as revising words with the sounds au and aw. These can be tricky for children to read because these letter patterns can make sounds that they may not expect when they first learn to sound out words. Children need to become familiar with these common letter patterns and learn how they are pronounced in different words.
Children will read the short story The River Trip, about Sam and Frank’s trip on a boat down the river with Uncle Frank. It includes lots of words containing wa, war, qua, gh, ght, au and aw, 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 pronounced.
This pack is useful for children who are learning to read words with these sounds, as well as children who need extra practice. Repeated reading will help children become more confident at recognising these letter patterns and reading the words more easily.
The story is taken from the seventh 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.
