Learning in spiral
Building on the identification of the 44 principal sounds
in English, we learn how to form and read words. In this
way we guide children in a process of learning that combines the
mechanics of reading with authentic comprehension, transforming
them into autonomous readers.
Each sound is presented with an action and a jingle, which help to recall
the sound and letter (or letters) that represent it.
as learners learn to isolate and recognise all 44 sounds, and to associate
these sounds to their written transcription, they become equipped to
pronounce them, join them together, and therefore begin to read.
Little by little, Yo-yo Phonics helps children understand words and play
with them, beginning with language that they are already familiar with
and moving on to new vocabulary presented in meaningful contexts.
