Phonics Focus CD-ROMs offer a story-based approach to phonics practice which helps children to read with confidence.

Printable teacher's notes are provided for each activity, along with cross-referencing to NLS documents, to save planning time.

Phonics Focus is ideal for independent and pair work on computers, and is also suitable for whole-class work, using an interactive whiteboard.

The stories are:

attractively illustrated and animated to motivate pupils
brought to life by engaging narrators
supported by fun, interactive games to develop blending skills for fluent reading and segmenting skills for accurate spelling
in line with Progression in Phonics, the recently published Playing with Sounds: a supplement to Progression in Phonics, and are matched to the NLS word-level objectives
written by popular children's authors Francis Lynne, Tony Mitton and Cynthia Rider
also available as printed children's books - an ideal guided reading resource
