English Practice Book (Play Group) is the English practice book on the Allied School Play Group list for the 2027-28 session. The cover is bright green, with the title in white and red outlined letters, the word Playgroup, two cartoon children (a boy and a girl with a big red book) and a white panel at the bottom for Name, Class, Section, Campus and Student ID.
In Play Group, English is mostly sounds, letter shapes and a few first words. A practice book is where a child traces and writes what they heard in class, and it pairs with the Phonics Stage 1 book (Letters a to z).

Why a practice book alongside phonics
Phonics teaches the sounds; practice fixes them. A child who traces a letter several times remembers its shape and sound, and the pencil control gained is a head start in handwriting. Having the practice book separate from the phonics workbook keeps both tidy and lets a teacher assign extra practice.
Helping a three-year-old hold the pencil
Practice books only work if a small hand can hold the pencil comfortably. Some simple points help:
- Choose a short, thick pencil or a chunky crayon; long thin pencils are harder for small fingers.
- Show the pinch grip with the thumb and first finger, with the pencil resting on the middle finger.
- Keep sessions short, five to ten minutes, and stop while the child is still happy.
- Praise effort and neat tracing rather than perfect shapes; accuracy comes with age.
- Let the child sit upright at a table, with feet supported, and use good light.
Questions to ask your child’s teacher
Ask which letters the class will cover first, whether they use capital or small letters at the start, and how many pages a week the teacher expects. Knowing this helps you match home practice to what is taught in class.
