Targeting Phonics

The ability to decode and encode words efficiently underpins success with reading and writing and Targeting Phonics teaches these skills using a systematic synthetic phonics approach which follows the teaching progression recommended in the Australian and NSW Curriculums. A unique feature of this series is the sound card page that links (using a QR code) to mini videos of the cards with an audio component to assist with correct pronunciation.

Each book includes:

the 26 letters of the alphabet (graphemes) and their relationship to the 44 sounds (phonemes) of the English language

the initial sounds of the 21 consonants

the five short vowels (a, e, i, o, u)

Review pages follow each unit with activities covering comprehension, spelling and high frequency words. The back section of this book provides:

Assessment for all the letters and sounds

Word Lists for each unit

High frequency Sight Word cards that can be photocopied and laminated as flashcards
