Schofield & Sims My Letters and Sounds is a comprehensive programme for teaching systematic synthetic phonics.
The My Letters and Sounds Reception Classroom Kit provides durable, physical, colour versions of the core teaching and learning resources that are used frequently and repeatedly in lessons in Reception. Mnemonics are included to introduce new grapheme-phoneme correspondences (GPCs) and demonstrate correct letter formation. Sound Mats can be used for regular practise of grapheme recognition and recall. Large format Friezes are provided to build up a colourful classroom display. Each week, the new GPCs can be added to the display for children to practise. Large format versions of the Grapheme Cards can be used at the front of class or with small groups of children. A set of Word Cards are included for each new GPC introduced, as well as Tricky Word Cards for each phase.
A Letter Formation Poster provides a clear and helpful reference for children who are developing their letter formation skills. Wipe-clean Phoneme Frames can be used to demonstrate segmenting with letters. A flatpack version of the Tog the Robot Posting Box is provided for children to ‘post’ Word Cards and Grapheme Cards through Tog’s mouth. The posting box can also be used in a range of blending and segmenting activities, as described in the lesson plans.
The Reception Classroom Kit includes: 49 full colour Phase Two and Phase Three Mnemonics; 15 full colour copies of the Phase Two and Phase Three Sound Mats; 49 full colour Phase Two and Phase Three Friezes; 48 Phase Two and Phase Three Grapheme Cards; 522 Phase Two, Phase Three and Phase Four Word Cards; one full colour Letter Formation Poster; 3 wipe-clean two-, three- and four-box Phoneme Frames; one full colour flatpack Tog the Robot Posting Box
