Floppy’s Phonics Sounds and Letters

Floppy’s Phonics Sounds and Letters CD-ROMs are designed to support the rigorous and systematic approach to teaching synthetic phonics provided within the rest of the Floppy’s Phonics Sounds and Letters programme. They support whole-class and individual exploration of the Sounds and Letters books. A multi-sensory approach allows children to interact with the spreads from the books and build on their phonic knowledge.
