Sounds & Vowels systematically develops reading and writing of regular words using English’s 10 commonest vowel sounds and graphemes. For children aged six to fourteen years it is powerful for regular classroom and home use with beginning readers, and ideal for older children who are experiencing literacy skill weakness in reading and writing.

 

Children with learning difficulties often have normal intellectual ability and healthy skills in other areas, e.g., mathematics and science – it’s reading and writing skills which are their biggest challenge. Sounds & Vowels concentrates on accelerating progress with these skills, using games and fun to keep motivation high.

 

When students experience literacy skill weakness in reading and spelling, the most common areas of weakness are with:

  • SOUNDS - Phonological awareness - hearing sounds in words, listing them to spell words, blending them when sounding out words, etc.

  • VOWELS - Whilst most students master consonant letters (b,m f, etc) and their sounds, they commonly have great difficulty with the vowel sounds in words.

 

English speech uses 20 common vowel sounds. These are commonly written using approximately 30 vowel graphemes: Literacy Plus products focus on the 18 commonest vowel sounds (with ‘ear’ and ‘air’ not included).

  • Sounds & Vowels builds mastery and confidence in reading and writing 10 vowel sounds (5 vowel sounds: ă ĕ ĭ ŏ ŭ, and 5 vowel names: ā ē ī ō ū), using 10 common vowel graphemes (a e I o u, a-, e-e i-e o-e u-e) while

  • Two Vowels Talking introduces 8 further vowel sounds and 20 common vowel graphemes.

 

Sounds & Vowels builds fluent permanent mastery of skills in four key areas:

  • Phonological Awareness for reading and writing
