PHONICS PROGRAMME
Below is an ‘off-the-shelf’ curriculum-based Phonics Programme developed for Chinese-speaking KS1 learners. There is a P1, P2 and P3 set of Powerpoints and workbooks, all include copies of the Phonics Alphabet and Phonics Song and are based on the Education Bureau’s Scheme of Work using proven teaching methods.
All materials can be adapted – it is suggested that one lesson per week is spent on phonics and that exercises such as decoding and blending are included in all English lessons. The workbooks may be printed/collated on A4 to create an A5 booklet…
P1 Phonics Programme Powerpoint – 88mb, 411 slides
The P1 programme includes sight words, songs, poems, tongue twisters, jazz chants and stories in context with a focus on initial sounds. It incorporates ‘Angry Phonics’ animations created by a fellow teacher in Hong Kong.
P1 Phonics Programme Accompanying Workbook – 4.8mb, 40 pages.
