Do it with Yo-yo Phonics!
Building on the identification of the principal sounds in English,
we learn how to form and read words.
Each sound is presented with an action and a jingle,
which help to recall the sound and letter (or letters) that represent it.
Little by little, Yo-yo Phonics helps children understand words and play with them.
Learning the 44 principal sounds in English is the key
to understanding words in oral and written form.
Yo-yo Phonics STARS is composed of 7 Storybooks.
Storybook Starter: Essential preparation for younger learners. This Storybook builds children’s phonic awareness and vocabulary by exposing them to environmental sounds and words.
Storybooks 1 to 6 constantly expose students to the 44 sounds in English. They present letters in the following order:
Storybook 1 presents |s| |a| |t| |i| |p| |n| |c|
Storybook 2 presents |e| |h| |r| |m| |d| |g| |o|
Storybook 3 presents |u| |l| |f| |b| |j| |y| |ai|
Storybook 4 presents |w| |oa| |ie| |ee| |or| |z| |ng| |v|
Storybook 5 presents |oo| |oo| |ch| |sh| |th| |th| |x| |qu| |ou| |oi|
Storybook 6 presents the final simple code spellings |ue| |er| |ar| |air| |eer| and introduces the all-important alternative spellings which unlock the door to true literacy.
