Introduction

Welcome to the Bumper Book of Phonics Fun. It is a resource designed to support the teaching of letter sounds in a fun, multisensory way, using the world around us as a stimulus. For each sound, you will find four pages containing the following range of activities. Every activity is linked to the sound: use some or all of them in any order, depending on what is appropriate for your learners.

Words that contain the sound within the word rather than at the beginning of it. These are often harder to hear.
