Mother Goose® Phonics Program |
|
 |
| |
Children are given auditory training, to develop phonemic
awareness through a variety of activities, to hear sounds at a very
early age. In reading, this is simply the action of combining the
letter sounds together to make a word, which is automatic for literate
adults but difficult for young children. We assist children with blending
and decoding. |
|
 |
| |
We at Mother Goose® use Jolly Phonics which is
a systematic, sequential, phonics program designed to teach children
to read. Children learn 40+ sounds of the English language, rather
than the alphabet. They are then taken through the stages of blending
and segmenting words to develop reading and writing skills. The initial
program has 6 phases through which students work through. |
|
 |
| |
42 speech sounds are introduced. Each sound has a storyline,
a picture to colour and a corresponding action. By performing an action
for each sound, children are using kinesthetic, auditory, visual and
speech to help them remember. This multi-sensory-approach is a very
effective way to reach all children as well as being enjoyable as
well. |
|
 |
 |
The sounds are arranged in seven, six-letter
groups which have been carefully selected for several reasons. The
letters that are easily confused, like "b" and "d",
are presented in separate groups. The "g" and "d"
are presented after the "c", to follow a developmental
speech pattern and help link the letter formation in printing. In
addition, the first sounds and letters taught can be combined to
create a large number of simple words. The materials are arranged
to support these sound groups.
