This simple book gives you and your child the opportunity to read simple words using their phonics knowledge. What is phonics? Phonics involves matching the sounds of spoken English with individual letters or groups of letters. For example, the sound k can be spelt as c, k, ck or ch. Teaching children to blend the sounds of letters together helps them decode unfamiliar or unknown words by sounding them out. Have fun with your child and take turns teaching reading and spelling the words. Encourage your child to use the word and say the word in a sentence.
