Phonics Resources: For Older Learners

This Resource Book provides photo-copiable phonic worksheets suitable for older learners.

There is an abundance of phonics resources for young children but often the content and tone of the text is unsuitable for older learners. This book provides more suitable resources for teachers of older children, adults and ESOL learners, which will enable them to use phonics to improve the reading and spelling of their learners.

The phonic progression of the worksheets is that presented in the Sounds~Write programme, but they can be used by any teacher who wants to introduce phonics to their learners in a structured sequence.
