Explicit teaching support and carefully constructed activities for reading, spelling and writing.

This pack includes a printed copy AND a digital version of the Stage 7 Unit 1 Teacher Activity Resource book.

In Stage 7 Unit 1, children begin to learn the long vowel sounds and their alternative spellings, as well as building their knowledge of morphology. This is a complex part of the English alphabetic code, but this Teacher Activity Resource aims to make it as simple as possible. The focus is on reading and spelling – reversible skills which need to be linked for the most effective teaching.
