A comprehensive phonics resource it is fully compatible with ' Letters & Sounds' & any other incremental phonics programme. Its graded activities best completed with an adult reinforce early literacy skills through listening & speaking & support a multi-sensory approach. Sound Phonics Phase Two is the second book in the series & a one-per-child activity book. It focuses on: practising letter Sets 1 to 5; recognizing letter shapes (supported by pictures & finger tracing); encouraging the use of 'sound talk' when segmenting words for spelling; separating words using ' Sound buttons' before blending for reading; practising 'tricky' words.
