Teaching Synthetic Phonics made easier

The need for simple, clear and concise teaching aids has never been greater than with the advent of teaching Synthetic Phonics. The Rose Report (March 2006) has recommended that the Alphabetic Code system should be taught in all schools from September, 2006. With this in mind the Flexisound system of 4 grids and teaching notes has been developed to provide both teachers and parents with a step by step guide on how to effectively teach children to speak, listen, read and write.

The grids have been printed on soft pliable plastic so that pupils can manipulate them and fold them repeatedly. This folding action is an ideal aid to help them learn letter/s-sound correspondences thoroughly. In order to be able to sound out and blend efficiently the pupil needs to recognize the letter-sound correspondences in any order that they occur and the folding capabilities of the grids will enable this recognition to become fluent and automatic.
