Resources Generated From Within The Local Authority
Following the course 'Playing with Sounds', teachers and practitioners requested a resource to enable them to hear the correct 'sounds'.
Using the resources available to download below we will work our way through the alphabet, and also try some other common phonemes.
There are two versions of the resource for you to try.
One version is fully 'automated' and designed to be used for the purpose of information gathering by educators, whereas the 'manual' version
is intended for use in class, where slide timings and sound interventions need to be controlled by mouse-clicks in order to facilitate class or
student participation.
To download and save onto your hard drive please right-click on the document title and select 'Save Target As...' from
the menu (Windows).
