One of the main focuses within the first years of your child's schooling is learning phonics. From the first day of school, your child will begin learning sounds that create the basis for secure reading, writing and spelling skills. Learning the phonics provides children with the tools to be able to 'decode' words effectively. There is no longer a need to learn words simply by the how they look or sound, understanding and applying phonics releases the need to 'remember' every word, spelling and grammar rule that applies to the English language. Learning letter and vowel sounds is the first step. Colour and learn short vowel sounds, helps to make learning fun.
