Ref: 9780198386711


Price: £6.95 (Including VAT at 20%)

Quantity:

The home version of the 'Speed Sounds Cards' used in many schools.

Before your child can start to read, he or she needs to learn:
* To say the sound that is represented by each letter or letter group (the 'Speed Sounds')
* How to blend the sounds together in a word to read it , e.g. c-a-t = cat, sh-o-p = shop. This is called sound blending.




These Phonics Flashcards include:
* 31 Speed Sound cards with the letter or letters that represent a sound on one side and a simple picture prompt on the other side (the letter sounds a-z and the sounds sh, ch th, nk and ng - the sounds your child needs to learn to read Storybooks 1a to 3b).
* 17 picture cards with pictures of things that contain the same sound as the Speed Sound cards.
* 7 instruction cards with activities to help your child learn the Speed Sounds, the letters that represent them, and how to sound-blend them into words for reading.

Before children can start to read, they need to learn to say the sounds that are represented by each letter or group of letters. In Read Write Inc. phonics, the individual sounds are called 'Speed Sounds'. Once children know these, they can start to put them together (or sound-blend' them) into words for reading.

Speed Sound Cards Set 1 (32 cards). Each card has a picture on one side merged with its initial letter to teach the mnemonic. The letter-sound pictures are used to help teach children to say, read and write these sounds:
m - a - s - d - t - i - n - p - g - o - c - k - u - b - f - e - l - h - sh - r - j - v - y - w - th - z - ch - qu - x - ng - nk

Read Write Inc. (formerly known as Ruth Miskin Literacy or RML) is a lively phonic programme that gets children reading and writing fast - it is now used in many schools in the UK. These Speed Sound cards can also be used very effectively alongside other reading schemes to help children learn to read with phonics.
