Author Description

The Oxford Literacy Web Letters, Sounds, and Rhymes series has three CD-ROMs to support it. The Sound Activities CD-ROM provides the opportunity for the teacher to select groups of letters to be used in the four games: the Balloon Game and the Door Game offer listening activities, and the Design a T-shirt Game and the Rocket Game offer spelling pattern activities. The Sound Stories CD-ROM contains 30 alliterative talking stories which are invaluable for teaching and reinforcing letter sounds. There is a story for each letter of the alphabet plus four digraphs (ch, sh, th, wh), and each has a listening and a spelling pattern game. The Big ABC CD-ROM has two listening and two speling pattern games, lively reward animations, and a rhyme set to music for each of the alphabet plus four digraphs (ch, sh, th, wh).
