How to pronounce 'pure' sounds for effective blending and segmenting.

This DVD provides an audio-visual guide for teachers and parents.

It demonstrates how to form and pronounce the 44 phonemes that children have to learn to recognise in order to decode words when learning to read English. An introduction by the author of the series, Ruth Miskin, explains how children can be taught the sounds logically. Children and adults are shown in close-up, pronouncing each phoneme while the corresponding grapheme (letter) is shown alongside on the Read Write Inc Speed Sounds card. Sounds are grouped in easy-to learn sets: bouncy consonants; stretchy consonants; bouncy vowels; stretchy vowels. There is also a section for teachers and parents to practise pronouncing the pure sounds.

Fred Frog is a beanie toy character that can be used flexibly as part of the Read Write Inc. Phonics programme to help introduce children to letters, sounds and words in a fun, dynamic and fast-paced way.

'Fred-talk' is an integral part of the Read Write Inc. programme. As soon as children know a group of sounds, they are introduced to a character called Fred. Fred knows that there are 44 sounds in our language and he knows that sounds must be very pure and distinct so children can sound-blend (for example c-a-t = cat, ch-i-p = chip, l-igh-t = light).

PLEASE NOTE - FRED FROG BEANIE DOES NOT MAKE THE SOUNDS HIMSELF!
