Description
HeidiSongs' newly Animated version of "Sounds Fun Phonics" includes fun, child-friendly, animated graphics and a new "Sound it Out" section following each music video, to help teach children how to sound out words using these "chunks" and to identify all of the sounds in the words. Each section is easily skippable, helping you organize and focus your teaching efforts. Once children can sound out the words and identify the sounds in them, they should be able to both read AND write most of the words in the DVD!
Sounds Fun Phonics is a system of teaching phonics, phonemic awareness, and the alphabetic principle. It also serves as a reinforcement for a child's understanding of the relationships between letters and sounds. A strong understanding of these basic skills is essential for children who are learning to read and write. These songs help to reinforce some of the most common letter combinations and sounds through engaging music and movement. The music serves to reinforce these basic phonics rules and sound spelling patterns, so that they can learn to read, write, and spell quickly and easily, in a fun and engaging way!
Review Highlights:
Students were practicing songs that worked on vowel digraphs, consonant digraphs, bossy e, magic Y, and r-controlled vowels. The songs were enjoyable for my kindergarten students. The songs focused on an area specifically and had an animation alongside an actual adult singing the song with the actions. The sounds out lessons were great for individual phoneme blending.
It's an engaging DVD. I liked that the children could and would watch it when I was not physically with them.
I like the concept of putting phonics to music with bright colors alongside an adult actor. The approach definitely improves phonics instruction / early reading skills.
My Kindergarteners enjoyed this DVD and I would definitely recommend it to others.
The Sounds Fun Phonics DVD covers 25 primary sound spelling patterns, plus three basic phonic rules utilizing fun graphics and music. As a homeschooling mom, I found the product to be a good introduction to phonics for my four year old, and a good review for my eight year old, who struggles with apraxia. The music and pictures are engaging, and even my eleven year old didn't mind watching. I especially liked that I could hear my four year old repeating the sounds as they were displayed on the video-very fun!
This is a good introduction to phonics, and my children enjoyed it.
