Phonic Dictation, Phonic Sight Word Sequence and Spelling Activites for Middle and Upper Primary
By the time children reach Year 3 and 4, there will typically be a significant range in ability within most classes. Some students will still present with junior primary levels and require targeted synthetic phonics (SSP) instruction. Other students will present with average or advanced skills and require phonic-based word study that progresses from analysing words at the individual sound (or phoneme) level to syllabic spelling with a focus on prefixes, suffixes and word knowledge as the vocabulary of the words become sophisticated.
By the end of the school year the average Year 3/4 student should be able to:
- Read and spell the majority of the stage 3 and 4 words.
- Fairly consistently transfer stage 3 and 4 phonic concepts into extended writing.
- Understand the meaning of the spelling words and be able to apply them in extended writing.
Following PLD’s SSP approach, we have combined 4 of our essential literacy resources for 3 and 4 students below:
- Phonic Sight Word Sequence
- Structured Synthetic Phonics Time-Savers – Stage 3 & 4
- Phonic Dictation – Stage 3
