Fun Materials, Books & Games For Phonics!

[buds]

Heyya guys, here's another good stuff to share with y'all..

There are good bargains that can be found in your nearest
neighbourhood stationery shops & also your nearby Popular
store..... if only there's time to really look and dig around.

I found this at a Popular store and liking it!
School Zone's Combo Phonics. Comes with a nice software
that encourages reinforcement on Phonics via fun games &
activities. Also comes with a fully coloured workbook with
beautiful illustrations.

Here are some activities in the software..

I like the activity where the mouse can be dragged to do matching
games and they will have similar matching activities in the workbook
to reinforce that instruction.

The back page of the workbook comes with a resource guide to help
you along with the software as well. And to make things more fun &
entertaining, the kiddies will be rewarded with fun clapping songs at
the end of an activity. My girl loves it!

And as with other PC games, parental guidance will definitely help even
more!

Not pricey at all, if i remember it correctly it should be $12.90 before
member's discount.

Me too!! Becoming a fan of buds. Really enjoy reading the thread where buds is active on…don’t get me wrong…not a stalker ey!.. I really like the hands on stuffs you do with your kids and it gives me ideas on what to do with my son who can’t sit still…but similar situation to wesim, I too can’t seem to get the good stuff which you get at popular.

Why buy when you can just borrow, right?

The library has sets of these readers called
My Phonics Friends. (If i got that right...) :oops:

Nice illustrations with bigger than usual books
fonts. Easy story line to follow. And the only
thing here is it is not even necessary to teach
the letter sounds here. Just add more emphasis
on each sound while reading the book through..

Great for children who are into the single letter
sounds. This book should provide reinforcement
for phonemic awareness.

As usual, buds has sample pages for you guys.

PULL AND LEARN PHONICS series written by Sue Graves

and beautifully illustrated by Gustavo Mazali is a fantastic
buy @ only S$5.90! Yet again, another nice buy from my
reliable Popular Bookstore.

These books provide fun reading for children who are at
the 3-letter words stage. It offers reinforcement on the
word families the children have learnt from their Phonics
lessons. The books aren't 100% decodable. ie. There will
be some sight words that parents/caregivers may require
to assist the children with... simple sight words.

Each of the books focuses on a different vowel sound.
Encourage your child to read the book with you, find
the matching words on the tabs at the side of the book.
Ask them to sound out/read the word and pull the tab
to see if they were right!

5 titles available for this Pull & Learn Phonics series.
I honestly hope they come up with more!

(1)Cub in a tub

(2)Pat and the bat

(3)Jen and Ben

(4)Sid the kid

http://www.postimage.org/

There's another book not shown here.

(5)Rod and the cod.

As always, buds will have sample pages for you..
These are from the book titled :- Pat and the bat.

As these books are only thick paperback material (cover page),
should be suitable for children of 4 years old and above. Below
that age, parents to supervise... for longer lifespan of the books.
