Pen and Paper Phonics

I'm a teacher and tutor with over 15 years experience in teaching Primary and Elementary Grades. I love thinking up and creating word based resources for teaching and learning reading. I have always loved teaching reading through phonics, and creating resources that support and reinforce key phonics skills.

My passion is in teaching reading and I love to help children progress through the individual stages of reading to full fluency and independence. Learning to read through systematic phonics is an excellent way of making progress in reading, and provides many opportunities for fun and interactive teaching and learning. I make sure my students have a solid understanding of the sound and letter system, that they can blend and segment with confidence and that they understand what they are reading. My reading sessions are a mixture of hand on learning, games and play activities as well as direct teaching.
