PHONIC BOOKS

Here in this dyslexia blog article is some information about some free phonics books parents can use to help their their dyslexic children.

The Specific Learning Difficulties Association of South Australia SPELD(SA) has produced a number of Phonic Books which use the sequence of sounds used in the Jolly Phonics early literacy programme.

The books are free to use. You can make a donation if you wish so that more can be published in the future.

Each book is published with suggestions on how parents, tutors and teachers can get the most out of the book.

SPELD (SA) phonic books require Adobe Flash.

The books are grouped in a developing order based on the order of sounds introduced in the Jolly Phonics early literacy programme.

The printable versions of these phonic books have been designed so that once printed, the pages can be folded in half to create an A5 book.

JOLLY PHONICS

During the long school holidays I started to teach my son to read English.I am using Jolly Phonics to teach him.I think this programme is ideal for parents teaching reading to their children since it is clearly explained and comes with numerous ready made printable worksheets and flashcards.

Jolly Phonics is a British programme for teaching reading, writing, and spelling using phonics. It was created by UK teachers Sue Lloyd and Sara Wernham.

Jolly Phonics uses Synthetic phonics to teach children to read .In this method children learn the individual sounds of English first and then they learn how to put them or blend them together to read words.

In Jolly Phonics, each of the main 42 sounds that make up the English language has an action.For example the letter ‘a’ is taught by running the fingers up and down the arm simulating lots of ants running about tickling the arm.

The programme uses a multi-sensory approach, which is ideal for children who have dyslexia to learn to read .It has fun characters (Inky Mouse, Snake, Bee, and Phonic) which will attract children .Jolly Phonics could be used with older children. My son is 10 and he enjoys reading the books !!
