Electronic Phonics

Age: 4+ years

Once you get Electronic Phonics from Hope Education, you won't want to live without it. This innovative resource encourages pupils to work on developing their phonics knowledge independently, whilst engaging them in fun phonics games and practice.

Pupils can load up Electronic Phonics with the digraph, trigraph and letter tiles and press the button for them to be read out. A bank of 842 words can be fully blended by Electronic Phonics. In segment mode, a word is read out and pupils then use the tiles to spell out the word. All the approaches available using Electronic Phonics help pupils to sound and blend unfamiliar printed words and increases their speed to do so.

Games built into Electronic Phonics will excite pupils about phonics by adding a competitive edge. Pupils are given points for correctly spelt words and differentiation is easy by setting Electronic Phonics to an appropriate difficulty level. Pupils can even record their own blended version with up to 10 seconds of audio to see if their pronunciation matches the word in the Electronic Phonics bank.
