Phase Five Alternative Pronunciation Sorting Games

 


These colourful cards are a lovely way to practise reading and to introduce alternative pronunciations of the graphemes that children have learned so far. Encourage children to sound out each word using the picture clues and then sort them into piles according to their pronunciation. Or you could use the cards as a ‘pairs’ game where the children must match up the cards according to the pronunciation of the grapheme. These cards could be laminated and used again. The cards also make great prompts for discussions and sentence or story writing so that children can demonstrate their increasing vocabulary and spelling skills.

These cards could also be very useful for EFL. With all the different pronunciations to master, learning English as a foreign language can be tricky!
