Foreword Initial Sounds Through Art and Craft – Book 1 has been such a success with lower primary teachers we have released a second book! Initial Sounds Through Art and Craft – Book 2 is designed to introduce and reinforce the learning of initial single sounds in the first weeks at school. Each page contains a different activity designed to be motivational and fun. Clear directions are included on each page which require students to practise manipulative skills such as cutting, colouring, gluing and folding. These activities have been tried and tested in the early years with great success.
