The Phonics Battle Challenge!

Join MC Grammar in helping your pupils get to grips with the challenge of learning phonics!

Summary

In partnership with the National Literacy Trust, we present an activity with MC Grammar!

This challenge will bring awesomely active phonics activities into your classroom to help motivate your pupils and support them in their learning.

MC Grammar was created by award-winning teacher, Jacob Mitchell; what started in his primary school classroom as simple songs and rhymes turned into activities such as books being blended with funky beats and unforgettable melodies!

Don’t forget to share your completed challenge with us by sharing them on @PLCommunities using #PLPrimaryStars or emailing them to PLPrimaryStars@premierleague.com.

Pupils will:

  • apply the skill of blending phonemes in order to read words
  • learn that blending and segmenting words are reversible processes
  • have more engagement and confidence in reading.
