Layout & Design

• The main principle behind them is that the teacher asks the class a phonics-related question. For example, the teacher may call out a sound and each pupil must find the corresponding letter on their phonics fan.

• But instead of showing it to the class or calling out the answer, the pupils must hold it tightly to their chest so no one can see and only display it when requested to do so by the teacher, thus ensuring full pupil participation.

• This is the basic method for using phonics fans.

Methodology

• may be used to teach letter–sound relationships as well as a wide range of phonics skills that are particular to each class level.

• Appropriate balance of activity types for individual, pair and group work.

• The games are fun and easy to follow. Some have a competitive edge, while others involve raps or songs.

• The games progress in a spiral nature, building on what pupils have learned and thus ensuring success. The games also reflect the phonics skills taught at each class level.
