Sound Phonics prepares children for full fluency in reading, writing and spellin
g by providing intensive practice in phonics. A comprehensive phonics resource,
it is fully compatible with 'Letters and Sounds' and any other incremental phoni
cs programme. Its graded activities, best completed with an adult, reinforce ear
ly literacy skills through listening and speaking, and support a multi-sensory a
pproach.
In Sound Phonics Phase Three, the child practises letter Sets 1 to 7
and is introduced to the concept of two or more letters making a single sound.
The child works towards correct letter formation by tracing over enlarged letter
s, with arrows for guidance. 'Sound buttons', which help the child to say and th
en blend the sounds in a word support reading, and 'Phoneme frames' are used to
support segmenting for spelling.
Sound Phonics Phase Three Book 2 is the four
th book in the series and a one-per-child activity book. It focuses on: revising
letter Sets 4 to 7 plus four consonant digraphs; practising 14 vowel digraphs.
