Sound–Symbol Skills Pack

2024 specifications: French, Spanish & German

Recordings included: 60–100 tracks per pack!

These unique skills packs help students to understand the new SSCs* in the 2024 GCSE specifications, and confidently apply this knowledge to the new Dictation and Reading Aloud exam questions.

Technical, yet accessible

S Fleet, Teacher & Peer Reviewer

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 Edexcel’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 Edexcel topic-by-topic Dictation Skills Packs and Reading Aloud Skills Packs

What do teachers say about this resource? (12799)

The resource is very well thought-out. It helps the students to understand the relationships between the graphemes and phonemes with relative ease. There were a good range of activities so it can be used regularly without the student getting bored. There were also plenty of examples and practice for the sounds.

[I liked] the different ways of identifying the SSCs (underlining when listening, practising before hearing etc).

It also allows students to gain a fantastic understanding of the SSCs to be able to identify them themselves for both the dictation and the read aloud. It is really very well thought-out.
