Phonics & WritingA child’s reading level may be better than their writing level. Writing uses both knowledge of sounds and words, as well as the physical action of writing.

This workbook has been created to help children improve their sentence writing skills. The words used within this pack include those that can be sounded out phonetically, words that children need to learn by sight and high frequency words (most commonly used words).

Activities within this workbook will help children read words, use them within simple sentences and show how to extend sentences to make them more interesting.
