Sonic Phonics Software CD-ROM


Sonic Phonics Software is the most recent addition to our range of phonics resources.

If you are looking for an interactive tool for teaching all the letter sounds in a simple, non-cluttered way, then this CD-ROM, designed in conjunction with early years specialists, is a great option.

The software is very simple to use. The letters and digraphs are organised into levels so pupils can learn letter sounds and how to blend sounds into simple words, progressing at their own pace (the order follows the 'Letters and Sounds' programme).

The CD-ROM teaches all the letter sounds, which are spoken in a very 'pure' way - so important when it comes to blending sounds into words. More difficult levels explicitly teach letters that can make more than one sound and sounds that can be written in different ways.

There is also a video option - the chosen letter or word can be presented as a video clip of a mouth moving and pronouncing the letters, so this is particularly useful for those with a hearing difficulty or with English as a second language.

This great value CD-ROM is ideal for:

* parents / carers to use at home

* teachers (and teaching assistants) to use in the classroom

* student teachers

* tutors (of children or adults)

* speech therapists
