No nonsense phonics skills3: Teacher Book

The series of nine No Nonsense Phonics Skills books provides a comprehensive step-by-step method of teaching reading, handwriting and spelling in the English language.

Debbie Hepplewhite guides the learner and the teacher through a series of carefully designed systematic phonics routines to master the complex English Alphabetic Code.

Each book is rich in content providing phonics instruction and exercises with 'cumulative' code, words and texts - developing language comprehension and building up knowledge of 'spelling word banks'.

High-frequency and tricky words, and additional letter/s-sound correspondences, are drip-fed into the teaching and learning sequence of the 109 included 'Mini Stories'.
