A complete phonics program for the second year of school. Nelson Phonics addresses the four essential skills children need in order to read and spell: phonological awareness, letterâÂÂsound (phonics) relationships, visual (graphological) processing and spelling. Nelson Phonics helps students develop an explicit understanding of the relationships between the 26 letters of the alphabet and the individual sounds that make up the English language. FOR EMERGING READERS AND SPELLERS The first unit in Workbook 2 revisits skills to determine the studentâÂÂs readiness for Workbook 2 tasks. Workbook 2 targets: ⢠consonant blends at the beginning of words, including âÂÂsâ blends (eg: snip, spot), âÂÂrâ blends (eg: brown, cry) and âÂÂlâ blends (eg: clown, plane). ⢠silent âÂÂeâ (eg: nose, smile) ⢠vowels (eg: car, moon, boat, sea) ⢠silent letters (eg: what, knob, wrong) ⢠special endings (eg: ring, shell, sack) ⢠sight words (eg: and, it, mum, them, home, me)
