Phonics Lesson Planning

Daily Plans - These free plans follow the weekly planning overview given in Letters and Sounds but break it down day by day, add in suggested words and sentences that can be used in sessions and show how the PhonicsPlay games can fit into planning. They ensure a clear progression in phonics teaching. Feel free to adapt them to make them work for you and your class and obviously add as much sparkle and magic as you like. Some of the plans use specific resources (pictures etc) which are available to subscribers by clicking on the Resources for Planning links for each phase below.
