    Fake words ensure that children have to learn to blend and not just recognise words by sight. Hide eggs with real and fake words around the classroom or around the playground. Split children into teams and Send one team to find all the real words and the other team to find the fake words. Soundtalk each word together and decide whether it is real or fake. Take away a point for each word of the wrong type.

    Dragon's Den (an alternative version of Buried Treasure)


    Phonics learning opportunities
    To practise blending for reading.
    NB. Using fake words ensures that children have to learn to blend and not just recognise words by
    sight. As children get older and need to be able to read more and more words they will find it
    increasingly tricky to learn them all by sight.

    Organisation
    Whole class, small group, 1:1 or independently

    Teaching ideas
    Choose which phase to work on and then choose the specific sets of letters you want to practise.
    Alternatively, you could choose a general mixture of words from each phase for revision or enter
    your own words.
    Click to get a new egg. Model soundtalking each sound in the word and then blending the
    sounds together and saying the final word. Ask the whole class to repeat this process.
    Ask the children to decide whether the word is real or fake. Make sure they all give an opinion and
    don't sit passively. The easiest way to do this is to ask them all to give an action (e.g. thumbs
    up/down, point left or right etc). Drag the egg to either the green (real) or red (fake) dragon.
    For subsequent words, ask the children to soundtalk and then say the blended word. It works well
    to ask an individual child to do this and then get the whole class to repeat. If the first child
    struggles, ask others to help. Again, ask the children to decide whether the word is real or fake.
    Shaking things up
    Printable versions of the dragons and eggs are available on the printable resources page. Use
    these to play small group, hands on versions of the game.
    Hide eggs with real and fake words around the classroom or around the playground. Split children
    into teams. Send one team to find all the real words and the other team to find the fake words
    (give them bags or boxes to collect them in). Set a time limit. When the time is up, gather the
    children together and check the words that the groups have found. Soundtalk each word
    together and decide whether it is real or fake. Give each team a point for each word of the
    correct type (real or fake) that they collected. Take away a point for each word of the wrong type.
    Top tips
    For every word (even words that they are familiar with) expect children to soundtalk the word and
    blend it to say the word. Don't just let them read the words. Phonics sessions are all about
    learning to blend and segment so the children need to be practising these skills. Wherever
    possible, get the whole class to repeat the soundtalking and the blending as well. Outside of
    phonics sessions, encourage children to only use blending to work out unfamiliar words.

    If children aren't sure about the meaning of some of the real words, let them know what the words
    mean but don't get caught up spending lots of time explaining them. Remember that you've
    only got a short amount of time and the main objective is to practise blending not to expand their
    vocabulary. Make a note of words they are unsure of and revisit their meanings in literacy sessions
    (or other lessons if that is more appropriate).
