Sample - Smart Phonics Book 3A (Ages 5+)

Reading is one of the most important skills that a child has to master. There is not one
sraightforward approach to teaching a child to read. Phonics is a ethiod of teaching
reading that is based on sounds and spelling patterns. Children are taught how to 'sound
our new words by learning the letter sounds (consonants and vowels), blending (blends,
diagraphs and Word families) as well as identifying sounds in words.

The Smart Phonics series comprises three sets of two books. They are writlen in a
systematic way to introduce children to the diferent lettfer sounds and blending. Children are first introduced to letter sounds. This is then followed by a variety of skill sheets for them to practise. Each book builds on the skillS of previous books, SO children can gain confidence and finally read and write fluently.

In Smart Phonics Books 1A and 1B, children are introduced to short and long vowel
sounds, 'a', 'e, ", 'o and'u'.
In Smart Phonics Books 2A and 2B, children are introduced to initial and final consonant
sounds.
In Smart Phonics Book, 3A and 3B, children are introduced to common blends, diagraphs and word families. They are then encouraged to make use of the skills learnt in the previous books to blend the sounds together to decode words.

Developing your child's skilli reading fluently does not stop here. Provide your child with a lot of print materials to cultivate an interest in reading. Make reading a fun family activity. With practice, your child will be able to read independently.
