JUSTIFICATION

Our project is based on creating a handmade book of values and phonics focused in Tricky Words for Primary Education. 

We strongly believe in this new resource that we have designed because we think the learning of phonics  and the acquirement of values are essential for learning the target language in a proper way. This is an useful tool to teach our children right values in class while they are acquiring the right pronunciation "indirectly".

Young learners will enjoy with our story "Mark and Magic Magnus" while they are learning phonics, the four main skills and values. 

Our goal with this project is that our students acquire the target language being able to speak it.

When we were creating the story, we realized the importance that values have in education, for this reason, we decided to add them in our book. 

Finally, our book could be set aside for every grade of Primary Education, because it can be adapted for every age. But at first, with any adaptation we wholeheartedly believe that including this resource as a reinforcement of the language in 4th grade it would be fine.

WEBS OF INTEREST

We are going to share some websites for teaching phonics, values and tricky words!

These are our topics in which we have focused in our story "Mark and Magic Magnus"!

 These webs are useful for teachers, students and parents.

This website is a tool for helping teachers and parents to save time finding excellent online educational resources. You can select the age (3-5/ 5-7/ 7-11/ 11-14) and the topic, in our case we have selected Phonics because we are in the way to                                                                      learn them.

Through the use of phonics, kids learn how to read, analyze sounds, and spell new words. At the Turtle Diary, we offer a variety of phonic games to help our students to understand  better the sounds of the English language. Our collection of online phonics games includes 'Phonics Memory', 'Phonic Sound' and 'Phonic Train,' to name a few. The aim of all of them is to help kids build their language skills. Through these online phonic games , students will achieve a deeper understanding of the relationship between letters and sounds also, while  having fun.


                                                                                                                                                                         

http://www.familylearning.org.uk/phonics_games.html

Phonics games will help your child to practise sounding out words, which will help them reading. Initially, children will learn basic letter sounds, such as "c-a-t" for "cat". Later, they will move on to more complex sounds  such as "th", "sh" and "ch", then "oo", "oa"... Once they have adquired a few basic letter sounds, they will be able to work out what a written word says for themselves, a skill which they will be very proud to show off!

Follow the links below to the free phonics games. Your child will have lots of fun while developing their phonic knowledge and skills.

http://jollylearning.co.uk/2010/11/01/tricky-words/

This Jolly Learnng Website brings  us a lot of ways to learn tricky words :

1. Look, Cover, Write and Check. Look at the word to see which bit is tricky. Ask the child to try writing the word in the air saying the letters. Cover the word over and see if the child can write it correctly. Check to make sure.

2. Say it as it sounds. Say the word so each sound is heard. For instance, the word was is said was “wass”, to rhyme with mass, the word Monday is said as Mon-day.

3. Mnemonics. The initial letter of each word in a saying gives the correct spelling of a word. For instance, laugh – Laugh At Ugly Goat´s Hair.

4. Using joined-up writing also improves spelling.

WELCOME TO FUNNY PHONICS!

  BLOG’S PRESENTATION

We are María Cordero, María Matilla and Silvia García! 

Our intention with this Blog “Funny Phonics” is teaching primary students phonetics in a “Funny” way. 

Nowadays, there is a current debate about teaching English phonics for students learning English as a target language. Do we want our students to learn English as a second, foreign or international language? From our point of view, we wish our students to acquire this target language as an international one, being able to speak both with natives or non-natives speakers. In addition, this is the point we find so necessary learning phonics, avoiding all usual challenges students undergo learning this part of the language.

This project is intended to outline common issues students have when learning phonics and make new resources that could help to deal with these. Our project is based on designing a book of phonics for Primary School Education students, who learn English as a target language.

We hope you like it! Welcome to :
