You can also play games (like the one above from Nicole Brady) using big dots as counters. I just wish I could turn off the predictive text! (any ideas? I’ve tried everything!) You can underline or put boxes around target words in sound searches (we play a guess-how-many-jellybeans-in-the-jar game with these, first guessing how many words with the target sound there will be). You or the learner can type, change the font size and colour, and move text around. You can scroll through homework and cover it in ticks.

The free Adobe Acrobat editing tools work much better with pdfs. We use Zoom and it has been excellent, but I rarely use their whiteboard or editing tools. Voila! A simple onscreen reading then spelling activity with large text. Then I save it, delete the text and save it again under a different file name.

I take screenshots of the pictures and paste them onto slides, type the text, then use Powerpoint’s formatting suggestions to make it look more schmick. I’ve used some Phonics With Feeling books for this, with author permission. Some kids with good keyboarding skills like typing a simple story to dictation, to create a book they can then show a parent or teacher. Lots of paper-based LLLL activities also lend themselves to online use, see item 8 below.ħ. Which is so incredibly generous, and will help so many young, locked-down children learn to read. Always affordable, the iPad versions are currently free till the end of September (at least in the Australian store). The app versions of the lovely LLLL books have been a great way to show young clients the books, by sharing the iPad screen online. Little Learners Love Literacy apps and other resources The USB costs AUD$95, and I’ve definitely gotten my money’s worth.īecause many other Sounds-Write activities are provided as pdfs as part of the training, they have also lent themselves to online use (see item 8 below), and the Aussie/NZ Sounds-Write community has lots of great ideas and resources.Ħ.

Other favourites are Tell A T-Rex, Poop Deck Pirates, Viking Full Circle, Forest Phonics, and Phonics Finder.

I often ask kids to type their own lists into Help A Hedgehog, then see how many they can read before the 90 second timer runs out. ICT games are all free online, and a quick, fun way to warm up or finish off a session. Again, so generous! Jen’s Best Gift Ever is my favourite, click here to read it, and here’s a comprehension quiz I’ve made as a follow-up activity (use it as a Gameshow Quiz for more pizazz). A lot of the WordWalls we’ve created also match their books’ teaching sequences.įlyleaf’s Online Portal contains lots of cute books from the UK which are perfect for online use, and all free at present, because of the pandemic. We use the physical Phonic Books resources a lot, and have found their free online resources very useful during our lockdowns.

Phonic Books Moon Dogs At Home books and other resources Playing the game again can be part of the homework, either on a computer or as a printable crossword or word search.Ģ. I therefore get kids to help me create a game online: first choose a game, type the target words/sentences into it, then play the game, then go on the leader board. Only the crossword and hangman games require spelling rather than reading to play, but not to create. I’ve made lots of activities which you can use for free, and so have many others. I think my head would have imploded in the last 18 months without a Wordwall subscription ( AUD$12 a month for all the games).
