Collins Big Cat Software - Phonics CD-Rom

10 minutes a day is all you need to learn to read! This bright, lively CD-ROM featuring Big Cat and his friends provides all you need to teach synthetic phonics in a fast, fun, systematic way.

• Developed by teachers for teachers, Collins Big Cat Phonics is easy to use and be sure you are getting it right.
• Every session runs automatically - so you can concentrate on observing and assessing your children's progress.
• Structured daily sessions provide fast, focused phonic fun, with lots of repetition and practice for reading and writing. Big Cat and his friends introduce you to 42+ phonemes through 10 minute daily sessions, helping every child learn how to become readers and writers.

Collins Big Cat Phonics teaches children to:
– hear the sound
– read the graphemes that represent the sound
– blend the sounds through the word
– segment the sounds into words
– read and write sentences which put all they've learned into practice.

• Interactive games also help consolidate phonic skills and engage children.
• The programme is designed to be flexible: use on interactive whiteboards with large groups or by individual children on PCs.
