## Description

Initial Sounds Vocab is a collection and engaging activities to introduce and develop basic reading, sound identification and spelling skills linked to the sounds at the beginning of words. The activities focus on listening, speaking and reading; which are essential for developing reading and spelling capability.

These fun activities are ideal for home, classroom and therapy use. These have been developed with education and speech and language professionals.

The vocabulary has been organised into 6 topics of initial consonant Sounds:

   •	  ch, cl, sh, sl
   •	  	br, dr, gr, pr
   •	  pl, bl, gl, fl
   •	  	fr, tr, cr, wr
   •	  sc, sk, sn, st
   •	  	sp, sw, tw, sm

With the ‘Listen and Learn’ activities, users can learn the vocabulary by first seeing a Widgit symbol as a visual reminder of the concept, then hearing it spoken aloud and beginning to read the written word.

The testing activities give users the chance to practise their new vocabulary with a mixture of listening and reading skills. During the testing activities, users earn gold and silver stars and are rewarded with a printable certificate.

Printable flash cards are also included for creating paper-based activities.
