How does the pack work?

Each worksheet introduces the SSC with examples and is then divided into 2 sections:

Vocabulary: focus on recognition and understanding of prescribed vocabulary
Sound–Symbol: listen to and write down words that match the SSC, or speak words aloud
➟ A variety of activities including match-up, gap fill, translation and transcription keeps students engaged.

Worksheets are designed for use by students of all levels with starred extension activities for Higher tier. Ready to use in class or as homework with answers provided.

What are SSCs?
Sound–symbol correspondences are the relationship between how a word is written and the sound it makes when you say it aloud.

Designed to match AQA’s requirements for relevant, targeted learning:

Keywords from the prescribed vocabulary list
SSCs from the specification
12 exam-style questions for Dictation and Reading Aloud to further test understanding and skills

Pairs well with: ZigZag Education’s AQA topic-by-topic Dictation Skills Packs and Reading Aloud Skills Packs

What do teachers say about this resource? (12555)

This is an excellent resource. The vocabulary has been carefully selected. The author has managed to produce a resource that is suitable both at Foundation and Higher level, which is a big feat. Technical, yet accessible.

S Fleet, Teacher & Peer Reviewer

A resource of high demand with a lot of teachers feeling uncertain about the changes in the new specification. I definitely see the pedagogical value of using the activities little and often to increase students’ confidence. I like that the activities are well built and start from basic and build in difficulty. They build a student’s vocabulary skills whilst also improving their phonic skills. I like that no assumption is made regarding the level of knowledge on the part of the teacher in terms of phonics, so phonics specific terms such as SSC are glossed within the resource. There is a lot of explanation for the teacher to understand what has been chosen and why which shows a lot of thought has been taken into consideration when creating this resource.
