Resource of the Month: Rigby Star Phonics
"Fast Phonics First uses synthetic phonics to teach reading and spelling and covers all of the word recognition content for the foundation stage and key stage 1, recommended in the Primary Framework... The combinations of aural, visual and kinaesthetic approaches help children to have fun learning and absorbing all they can in a fun and engaging way while they build up essential pre-requisite skills for reading.
...the children in my setting enjoyed the Rigby Star books and computer programmes so much, they were often seen extending their own learning using the whiteboards or magnetic letters to write sentences like 'Sid did it' and 'The cat sat on the mat' or 'Tut tut pup'.
This is a superb resource for any early years setting either to use in isolation or as a supporting resource to other schemes."
