Speaking and Listening (and phonemic awareness)

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.

Show children how they can make sounds with their voices with these beautiful, photographic flash cards from Phase 1 of Letters and Sounds.

Ideal for whole class work, you can hold up the cards and demonstrate to children how to make each sound. The children can then join in, observing in others (or themselves with the help of a mirror) the different movements their mouths and tongues make in order to emit different sounds. The activity can then be extended by joining speech sounds into pairs (e.g. ee-aw like a donkey). Contains 10 Flash Cards.

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!
