On the Sound Train, each speech sound has its own bright, loveable and memorable character to aid fast association and retention.
There’s a whole train full of friends waiting to help you teach your young learners phonics. Starting naturally with the earliest sound recognition and speech sound creation, the colourful, memorable characters will each help children to learn their sound.
Having a character for each sound ensures that every phoneme is memorised individually and fully along with its associated written grapheme. This creates a better basis for literacy, preventing phonic-based spelling and reading errors.
Welcome aboard!
