I bought a number of books for 11+ and GCSE. There was a good choice of books available to buy and the process from buying them to arriving was simple. Would recommend.

About the 10 Minutes a Day Phonics (Ages 3-5)

Here are our top reasons to buy the 10 Minutes a Day Phonics (Ages 3-5):

  • Activities on consonants, short vowel sounds, digraphs and word building
  • Written by Carol Vorderman in 10 minute sittings for ages 3-5
  • Matched to the National Curriculum at Early Years Foundation Stage
  • Parents' notes with full answers and the mistakes children often make

Your Pre-School or Reception child is learning letter sounds right now, and this workbook practises them at home in ten minutes.

Children fill in the letter a in words, circle animals, and complete rhyming word chains to master the short a sound
Children fill in the letter a in words, circle animals, and complete rhyming word chains to master the short a sound.

10 Minutes a Day Phonics follows the sounds children meet at nursery and in Reception, so the pages back up what their teacher is doing. A Year 1 child whose letter sounds never quite stuck can go back over them here without feeling babyish.

Children circle the heaviest hen, highest house, hottest hamburger and huge helmet
Children circle the heaviest hen, highest house, hottest hamburger and huge helmet, then complete words with the letter h and draw lines to pictures.

The activities work through consonants, short vowel sounds, digraphs and building first words, in a printed workbook your child writes straight into. Games and short tests keep each sitting light. On the short 'a' page, children fill in the missing letter, circle animals and finish rhyming word chains.

Children circle words starting with z, cross out those with z in the middle, and circle letters in sound-effect words
Children circle words starting with z, cross out those with z in the middle, and circle letters in sound-effect words.

Ten minutes is the whole session, which suits the attention span of a child of three or four. The parents' notes hold the answers, and they explain the slips children make with sounds and how to head them off. That gives you the words to use when your child gets stuck.
