The Write Order

 

Generally with writing we work with the butterfly cards with its standard A-Z delivery by name. The cards also have some high frequency words on it.

Because we have a strong phonics basis, and have a few strategies to achieve this (like Jolly Phonics and BSLA), I have been trialling a way to further introduce alphabet sounds with a CVC letter sound chart.

I am hoping this reinforces the automaticity of hearing and writing down sounds, also in their right order (WRITE ORDER). Particularly small CVC words and then getting into hearing those dominant sounds which will hopefully prompt quicker writing.

My release teacher Vanessa suggested maybe we could do up something similar to work alongside the Butterfly cards - especially to begin with - because at writing times it would strongly enforce the phonics programme.

Naturally, I print the new cards and there is no letters q or x. But I am confident enough it will maybe do its job in the foundation stages - or NOT!

We have added some high frequency words as well.
