Synthetic Phonics Books for the Playgroup.


We now have x12 phonics books in the setting at the Ascension Preschool Playgroup, part of the Usborne Books phonics readers set. These books have been created in consultation with a language expert, taking into account the most effective ways of teaching early reading.

The 12 books include:
- Ted in a red bed, Big pig on a dig, Fat cat on a mat, goose on the loose, Ted’s shed, Frog on a log, Hen’s pens, Shark in the park, Mouse moves house, Sam sheep can’t sleep, Fox on a box and Toad makes a road.

The books are designed to support synthetic phonics learning, which is the process of reading by sounding the individual phonemes (distinct sounds) in a word, then running them together to read a whole word.

We will be using these books during story time and step-up sessions in order to provision for children’s early reading skills. These books will be read to the child, and we will encourage them to sound out the words of the story as we go along, and many will pick up the repetition and repeated refrains the more often the story is read.
