 Reading!
Spelling! Phonics!
All are made lively and fun with the help of the Word Machine.
Ideal as a 'starter lesson' or to reinforce what has already been
learned, each program has a single teaching focus that relates to one
particular group of phonemes. This
kind of word level work takes on a narrative context through graphics,
animation, real-world action, rhyme, wordplay, onset and rime and song.
These programs across the academic year are closely
directed to progression in phonic teaching.
