Teaching Resources

With My First Letter Sounds, children learn all of the letter sounds of the English language, not just the alphabet letters. Learning the letter sounds is the first step towards reading and writing. My First Letter

Sounds provides an easy introduction to these by:

• Learning the sounds that letters make (not their names) – a written pronunciation guide is included in

the book

• Learning how to write the letters – arrows on each letter enables children to form it correctly

• Identifying the sounds in words using the pictures in the book and asking children if they can hear the

/ssss/ sound in “sun”?

Tips and guidance for parents are included in the book.
