About this title.

A very clearly and simply set out resource for the teaching of the short and long vowel sounds and vowel digraphs. Also suitable for ESOL students. This resource provides a simple, straight forward method, tests, key sentence charts, activities, games and a record sheet. Catchy key phrases are used for each one of these sounds - eg 'I heard her purple mixer stirs words'. In this key sentence you have 5 different ways of spelling the sound 'er'. Along with other simple activities and games the learning of each sound is reinforced. Great pictures to help remember the key phrase as well. Use this resource with students who are struggling to learn to read and need a phonetic approach and an interesting way to learn. Use it with students who are learning to speak English as their second language and who need a key to understanding how to read and write our language.
