My Letters and Sounds Phase Six Teacher's Guide

Schofield & Sims My Letters and Sounds is a comprehensive programme for teaching systematic synthetic phonics. Aligned with Letters and Sounds, it provides everything teachers and adult helpers need to support reading and spelling with confidence.

The My Letters and Sounds Phase Six Teacher's Guide supports Phonics Practice Pupil Books 9 and 10, the Phase Six workbooks in the My Letters and Sounds series. Designed for classroom teachers and teaching assistants, it provides structured teaching notes, practical activities and ready-to-use photocopiable resources to help children consolidate their phonic knowledge and develop fluent reading and accurate spelling.

In Phase Six, children build on the secure phonics foundations established in earlier phases, developing their understanding of spelling rules and conventions, including prefixes and suffixes, word endings, homophones and word etymology. The teaching notes follow the teach, practise, apply and assess model to support focused, effective phonics sessions.

The My Letters and Sounds Phase Six Teacher's Guide includes:

• detailed teaching notes for each workbook, with guidance on introducing and revisiting key Phase Six learning focuses
• photocopiable resources to support classroom activities, including word cards, activity sheets and games
• assessment guidance for reading and spelling, with analysis and record sheets to track each child's progress
• a scope and sequence chart showing the content covered across Phonics Practice Pupil Books 9 and 10
• a phonics glossary explaining key terms used throughout the handbook.
