Learning is more memorable and fun

Now use colour, draw, paint, make and play games for fun and engaging learning that uses all senses. Learning in different ways helps children to remember these words.

Green Froggy colours graphemes that make the E sound green. She is a green monster and makes the E sounds. She helps children to learn to spell words that have these sounds.

She shows which grapheme makes the E sound in the word ‘people’ she shows which grapheme. Watch out, there is a silent monster and Tricky too! Tricky changes the sound of graphemes to something different. Here she has changed ‘le’ to and ‘ul’ sound. This helps children to remember the tricky part of the word.

people

Miss Oh No colours graphemes that make the O sound pink. She is a pink monster and makes the O sound. Here she shows that the single letter ‘o’ makes the O sound. There is a silent monster too!

oh

The silent monsters help children to remember the silent letters in words. They colour the silent letters in words white and make no sound. The ‘o’ and ‘l’ in ‘could’ make no sound. This helps children to remember to write letters that they can’t hear in words.

could

We explain to children that the tricky part of a word makes a different sound to the one that they have been taught. This is because Tricky has tricked the sound they know so well. We colour code these tricky graphemes gold.
