I Hear with My Little Ear

"I Hear with my Little Ear" is a collection of lively phonic games that children will love. The 102 games in this practical book will enrich the development of children's speech, language and literacy skills. In line with recomendations from the review of early reading by Jim Rose, this book is ideal for teachers, teaching assistants, and speech and language therapists who want to reinforce essential phonic skills with their children. The active games are designed to be played in group settings using little equipment, enabling the children to learn in an interactive way and gain knowledge from their peers. They cover a wide range of skills including identifying syllables, recognising initial and final word sounds, rhyming knowledge and phoneme manipulation. All of the games have been designed to encourage children to learn phonic skills in a multi-sensory way by combining visual, auditory and kinaesthetic appraoches to learning. Suitable for children age four and up the games include suggestions for how to make the activities easier or more difficult.
