My Big Book of Initial Sounds

This copymaster has been developed with the understanding that graphophonics is an integral part of the reading, writing and spelling process.

The order in which the initial sounds appear in this package is based on the frequency of use in spoken and written language.

To prevent confusion, the order also provides intervals between activities with similar phonemes (e.g. m, n), graphemes (e.g. b, d) and between short vowel activities (a, e, i, o, u).

Features: order in which the initial sounds appear is based on the frequency of use in spoken and written language; copymaster activities that reinforce the letter; sound associations through inbuilt revision; activities that encourage: left page, left-to-right, and top-to-bottom orientation; letter sound matching; visual and auditory discrimination; letter formations, directions and dimensions; and understanding of the concepts: picture, letter, sound, word, sentence and match, same, different and missing.
