Alphabet the Multi Sensory Way – Cursive Font
A program for 4-6 year olds, incorporating Stage 1 phonic concepts.
- Students kinaesthetically feel what their mouth is doing when they produce the alphabet and phonic sounds.
- Students see what their mouths look like when their mouths produce the alphabet and phonic sounds (via the visual representation of the mouth on each page).
- Students also visually connect a core picture/word with the alphabet and phonic sounds (e.g. ‘mix’, ‘teeth’ and ‘snake’).
- From an auditory (and phonemic awareness) perspective students identify the initial sounds in simple target words (e.g. teeth starts with a “t”).
- Students move and rehearse a basic action associated with each target picture (which also engages a kinaesthetic dimension.)
- Simple to use format
- Card sets explicitly teach the alphabet and phonic sounds.
- Students feel their mouth making the sounds.
- A body action is outlined for each sound.
- An effective and engaging way to teach the alphabet and phonic sounds.
