Learn the letter sounds with Finger Phonics
The Finger Phonics books introduce young students to all of the letter sounds, not just the alphabet. The teaching in these books is multisensory. Each letter sound is introduced with an action and a large cut-out letter, which helps little fingers to feel the correct formation. Fun activities at the end of each book help students to use their new letter-sound knowledge and begin to develop their reading and writing skills.
