Sound Phonics Activity Books

Sound Phonics Phase One is designed to help children develop an awareness of the different sounds in spoken language. From this they will begin to understand that words are made up of different phonemes (sounds) and will gradually learn to hear the different sounds in a word.




It covers:
• developing the child’s awareness of environmental sounds
• recognising the separate sounds in words (through rhymes, songs and games)
• sound discrimination, rhythm, rhyme and alliteration
• oral blending and segmenting.
Ideas for further listening and sound discrimination activities are provided.

Provides page-by-page activities for teachers or parents. It does not require the child or the adult to write in or mark the book - it may therefore be reused as often as required.

Its graded activities, best completed with an adult, reinforce early literacy skills through listening and speaking - and support a multisensory approach. The child is encouraged to look at - point to- trace and form letters, say the separate sounds in words ('segmenting for spelling'), blend them to read words ('blending for reading') and read and spell 'tricky' words.


Phase Two and all subsequent books in the series are one-per-child activity books for completion by the child. This book covers:
* practice of letter Sets 1 to 5 (s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k, ck, e, u, r, h, b, f,ff, l,ll, ss)
* blending and segmenting short words
* 'Tricky' words are practiced regularly from this point on.
