The brand new Oxford Phonics Spelling Dictionary is an easy home & school reference tool. It supports the teaching of reading & spelling through synthetic phonics. Supported by the Floppy's Phonics Sounds & Letters Programme it follows the Alphabetic Code Chart showing the sounds & alternative spellings that children will need to learn to become proficient readers & spellers. The words are ordered by initial sound & there are subsections to show how the same sounds appear in the middle or at the end of a word. The long vowel sounds & their alternative spellings appear in a separate section within the dictionary. This unique dictionary makes it easy to explain how 'sun' & ' Cinderella' both start with the 's' sound & how 'dance' has the same 's' sound at the end while 'egg' & 'eat' start with the same letter but different sounds. With colourful illustrations by Alex Brychta & the familiar Oxford Reading Tree characters this is a fun way to prepare for the phonics screening check. There is additional phonics support material & audio on the Oxford Owl website http://www.oxfordowl.co.uk.
