If your school is transiting to a synthetic phonics approach and you're new to this, it can be a little overwhelming.
Thankfully, Fast Phonics has all the resources to help you implement this in your classroom.
Brimming with phonic activities, lesson plans, decodable books, printables and more, it is the complete, evidence-based program guiding and engaging students systematically through learning letters and sounds.
So, what do you and your students get?
Designed for emergent readers in pre-K through second year/grade, Fast Phonics also makes a great reading support for students who have core learning gaps in their phonics knowledge.
Immersed in a snow-capped Yeti world, students embark on a sequenced learning journey and work their way through 20 fun-filled levels known as Peaks.
There are up to 24 parts filled with exciting phonics games in each Peak, with each part focusing on a specific set of letters and sounds. When students reach the end of a Peak, they take a quiz and move on to the next one.
Plus, matching what your students learn and supporting your in-class teaching, each Peak comes with an extensive range of teacher resources:
Read on to discover more about each of the super helpful resources in Fast Phonics.
The Weekly Planner is your go-to lesson plan for teaching systematic synthetic phonics. It does all the planning for you, so you can have more time for other important tasks.
Learning objectives are set out in each weekly planner, so you know exactly what sounds and letters to teach. You can also find a list of high-frequency and new decodable words covered in that week.
All 20 sequential planners are divided into days of the week. Each day is segmented into four key areas with detailed instructions - Review, Teach, Practise/Practice and Apply. Phonics activities are included in each of these areas, so you have a clear idea of what to do.
Reinforce your student's learning with these Teaching Slide Decks. Each deck corresponds to what is taught in Fast Phonics, complementing your in-class phonics instruction.
Present them on your interactive whiteboard or print them as teaching cards - it's your choice! These decks act as a great reminder to help students recall and consolidate new words learned.

Decorate your class with these beautifully illustrated sound mats or use the flashcards when teaching tricky words (there's even a script to help you out). The flashcards and sound mats correspond to the letters and sounds taught in each Peak.
