Snail Brings The Mail (Usborne Phonics Readers)

Usborne Phonics Readers make learning phonics fun. Each title introduces beginner readers to a wide variety of phonemes in a lively, rhyming tale.

Learning to read using phonics is quite straightforward for most children, which is why it has become such a popular method in schools. It’s all about identifying the sounds in the written word, and putting them together or blending to read the word. This can be as simple as the c-a-t sounds in ‘cat’, or the more complicated patterns in words like ‘teacher’ or ‘school’. Phonics teaching methods start with the simplest words and help children to practise those. Gradually they learn to read simple words more fluently, and to tackle longer and more complicated words.
