Description

This resource provides hands-on activities to accompany many of the Ready to Read Phonics Plus Māhuri Sapling texts. The hands-on activities have been created to specifically match the focus sounds taught in each book.

With initial modelling and scaffolding, these activities are intended to be completed independently to build students’ skills in following instructions, fine motor skills and stamina to complete a task. The activities have been carefully designed to enhance the teaching that occurs in small group guided reading and to give independent practice to the focus sounds taught.

The Phonics Plus Māhuri Sapling Hands-On Activities Volume Two pack features activities for the following texts:

Night Lights
Tinā Visits
The Fastest Toy
Follow Me
A Play Date for Huhu

This set features activities for the following focus sounds:

-igh, -air, –ear, -ere
-oy and -ow

The activities that are included are:

Word Slider (-igh)

Please note: To use this resource, you need to have access to the Ready to Read Phonics Plus Māhuri Seed Level readers. These are found in NZ schools and here.
