Introducing the perfect phonics activity book to help your child improve their reading skills. Is your little one learning to read? Are you looking for a simple and fun activity book that will help them enhance their decoding and blending skills? Then this book is a must-have!

With over 100 pages of fun-filled puzzles, writing, matching, and colouring activities, this book was designed to engage and motivate young children to improve their reading skills and phonemic awareness. These activities will make learning a breeze and give your child a head start in school and life.

This book is designed to target and improve children’s phonemic awareness. Phonics is the relationship between letter names (graphemes) and letter sounds (phonemes). Different letter combinations make different sounds. By improving their phonemic awareness, a child’s reading skyrockets and they gain the ability to decode new words with confidence and ease.

Key Features:

• Over 100 pages of highly engaging phonics activities
• Phase 3 sounds
• Colouring
• Matching
• Puzzles
• Writing
• Specifically designed for ages 4-6
• Importantly, follows the National Curriculum

A good reading skill is the foundation for all future learning and success. Reading gaps prevent students from excelling across the school curriculum.

Don’t miss out on this enjoyable and necessary tool for your child to become a confident learner and master the art of reading! Get your hands on this book now and set your child up for the future.

There’s plenty to do when planning the curriculum in primary schools. If it feels daunting, then one of the most helpful things is to talk to other people about how they have developed the curriculum for their particular subject or key stage.

This is what John Tomsett and Mary Myatt have done. After the secondary ‘Huh: Curriculum conversations between subject and senior leaders’ was published, they were flooded with requests to produce a primary version.

They enlisted the help of renowned primary specialists, Rachel Higginson, Lekha Sharma and Emma Turner to have conversations with primary teachers and key stage co-ordinators who are doing great curriculum development work.

Each chapter provides insights into the importance of individual subjects and the unique contribution each makes to pupils’ cognitive and personal development.

The subject chapters discuss the steps colleagues take to ensure that there is a coherent thread across the year groups, as the discrete subjects deliver, collectively, the primary curriculum.

These conversations show how the craft of creating a rich, challenging curriculum for every subject is not a quick fix. This is a nuanced piece of work, and there are many ways of approaching it. Each chapter also contains links to subject associations and helpful resources.

Primary Huh has been written for subject leaders and key stage co-ordinators; it has also been written for senior leaders, as they prepare to have supportive conversations with their colleagues who are responsible for curriculum development.

Primary Huh is offered as a prompt rather than the last word. Informed debate is, as they say, the fuel of curriculum development.

And why have John and Mary called it ‘Huh’? Well, John discovered that Huh is the Egyptian god of endlessness, creativity, fertility and regeneration, and they thought that was a pretty good metaphor for their work on the curriculum!

Teaching primary computing without computers?

The Computing curriculum is a challenge for primary school teachers.  The realities of primary school resources mean limited access to computer hardware.  But computing is about more than computers. Important aspects of the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science can be taught without any hardware.  Children can learn to analyse problems and computational terms and apply computational thinking to solve problems without turning on a computer.

This book shows you how you can teach computing through ‘unplugged’ activities. It provides lesson examples and everyday activities to help teachers and pupils explore computing concepts in a concrete way, accelerating their understanding and grasp of key ideas such as abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation. The unplugged approach is physical and collaborative, using kinaesthetic learning to help make computing concepts more meaningful and memorable.

This book will help you to elevate your teaching, and your children′s learning of computing beyond the available hardware.  It focuses on the building blocks of understanding required for computation thinking.
