This pack introduces words ending in -tion and -ture, such as population, examination, puncture and sculpture, and words containing silent letters, such as honeycomb, gnat and wrong. These can be tricky for children to read because some groups of letters represent sounds that are not always obvious from the individual letters, while silent letters are not pronounced at all.
Children will read the short story The Sand Castle, about Sam and Kim’s family day trip to the beach. It contains lots of words ending in -tion and -ture, as well as words containing silent letters, 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 sounds and the words in which they occur.
This pack is useful for children who are learning to read words containing -tion, -ture and silent letters, as well as children who need extra practice. Repeated reading will help children become more confident at recognising these common groups of letters and reading the words more easily.
The story is taken from the final 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.
