Description

Reading is an essential life skill. Children are expected to be confident, fluent readers by the age of seven. Phonics gives children a practical method for decoding the majority of English words, unlike older approaches that relied on memorising words by their shape or initial letter. When children can decode words rather than rely on memory, they learn to read much faster. This skill also enables them to work out how to pronounce and spell new words, rapidly expanding their literacy abilities.

Have you ever heard of a phoneme? What about a grapheme or a digraph? Chances are, these terms may be new to you — but that’s about to change. This course will give you a clear understanding of letter sounds and show you how to use them to kick-start your child’s reading journey.

In just one hour, with the help of PDF books and resources worth over €49.99, you will be able to:

  1. Help your child recognise letter sounds.

  2. Help your child connect letter shapes with their corresponding sounds.

  3. Teach your child the difference between long and short vowel sounds.

  4. Understand the difference between consonant blends and digraphs.

  5. Use the supplied resource pack in a fun and interactive way.

  6. Help your child read simple three-letter words.
