Guest Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Can anyone help? I am looking for some good phonics software for the interactive whiteboard. Do you have a good programme which you use please? Thanks. Ann.
Guest Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 I haven't come across any particular software but www.ictgames.co.uk and the topmarks website have some good interactive games for the children. Some still refer to letters and sounds but are still good for you below average children.
mundia Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Hi Annn, welcome to the forum hope you soon make yourself at home. Have you looked in the resources library, you may find some things there literacy resources Failing that you can have a look here or here hope that gives you a good start
Marion Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Fast Phonics First has been changed so that it is 100% compatible with Letters and Sounds. I use Big Cat Phonics which has a different order for introducing the phonemes but I find it works well and the children love it.

Will get researching right away! Think I am going to find the forum very helpful!
Guest Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Wordshark is suppose to be really good. The updated version only came out this week so I haven't had a play on it yet. It also fits in with letters and sounds. http://www.dyslexic.com/wordshark

Thanks. Ann. I absolutely love using 'Letterland' to teach phonics and handwriting to my Reception Class. It has been going for years and as such a lot of criticism has been thrown at it, but in my opinion if it doesn't get the children excited about learning about letters and sounds and give them the tools to start blending and segmenting sounds, it is only because it has not been taught in the correct way. It has been updated and complements 'Letters and Sounds' and also has a fantastic IWB resource which is brilliant. letterland.com
