Be cool for school, ‘learn on-line' synthetic phonics
With our new 123 it’s a fruity abc on-line learning guide you can help your child or children learn synthetic phonics, just like they will in school.
Synthetic phonics is based on a week-by-week introduction of the letters and sounds in a simple systematic approach, enabling the child to build their knowledge and understanding in a progressive method to help develop early reading skills - and you can share in that too.
Being on-line it also helps to promote essential computer skills, developing co-ordination of mouse and cursor with a simple visual interface, so let them get involved while they learn.
