Songs and Games Phonics

‘Songs and Games Phonics’ is a 2 book phonics course for children written and designed to be used as both stand-alone phonics course books, or used as supplementary phonics content for classes when using an existing course book. The course has been written by best selling author, David Paul, illustrated beautifully for children by Bill Borella and features 56 captivating songs (2 songs for each unit of the books) written for children by children’s songs specialists, Fun Kids English.

The aim of ‘Songs and Games Phonics’ is to fully integrate learning with play and music so that children are immersed in the acquisition of reading, writing and pronunciation skills. The children start by learning the basic vowels, then consonants, then acquire the skill of joining vowels and consonants, then short words, longer words and simple sentences. In the second level of the course, the children move into special vowel combinations and a wider range of sentences.
