EXAMPLE USE OF PHONICS FLIP BOOK

SEE FOR YOURSELF!!

We're so excited about Flipping for Phonics® we would like to show you exactly how easy it is. Below is an example of one of the many ways in which you might use this product.

In this example we built words with 'ending sounds' by flipping to the letters 'at' and changing the first letter only to make the words: 'bat', 'cat', 'mat' etc. You can just as easily build words with 'beginning sounds' instead and just change the last letter like: 'ba' - bad, bag, bam, ban. You could also keep the same first letter and last letter changing only the vowel like: 'bad', 'bed', 'bid', 'bud'.

The wonderful thing about Flipping for Phonics® is that it can be adapted to be used with whatever reading program you are currently using! In other words, you can:

TEACH IT YOUR WAY!

Change the
first letter or letters

Change the
middle letter

Change the
last letter

bat bad bad

cat bed bag

hat bid bam

mat body ban

rat bud bar

sat

chat

In the Word List Book, choose any "word ending" from the chart at the beginning of the book. Each word ending has been numbered. In this example, we have chosen the word ending: 10) at.

Flip through the Word List Book until you locate word ending number 10. Note the many different words containing the letters 'at'.

Now open the Flipbook to the first set of thumbnail pictures (short vowel sounds), and place it in front of your student, Introduce him to the sound 'a'.

Point to the picture representing letter A and say:

Can you tell me what this picture is? Very good! This is a picture of an apple.

Listen as I isolate the beginning sound of this word.

Apple. "A", "a", "a".
A says "a" as in apple.
Let me hear you. "A", "a", "a".
Apple. "A", "a", "a".
A says "a" as in apple.
Very GOOD!

Now point to the picture representing letter T and say:

Can you tell me what this picture is? Very good! This a picture of a tiger.

Listen as I isolate the beginning sound of this word.

Tiger. "T", "t", "t".
T says "t" as in tiger.
Let me hear you. "T", "t", "t".
Tiger. "T", "t", "t".
T says "t" as in tiger.
Very GOOD!

Now it's time to teach your student how to blend sounds.

In the flipbook, turn to the flip chart section of the book. In the 4th column of the flip chart, flip to the letter A. In the 5th column of the flip chart, flip to the letter T.

Show me the letter A. Very good!

Show me the letter T. Very good!

Now listen as I blend A and T (point to each letter as you say it).
"A", "t". "At".
"A", "t". "At".

Let us do that together.
"A", "t". "At".
"A", "t". "At".

Now let me listen to you as you do it.
Good job!

When your student is comfortable with this blending of sounds, you can introduce some of words located in the Word List Book.

Now you can easily introduce long vowel sounds by simply adding an 'e' at the end of the word. Be sure to explain that the E is silent and it changes the sound of the A.

Open the Flipbook to the second set of thumbnail pictures (long vowel sounds), and place it in front of your student, Introduce him to the 'long a sound'.

Point to the picture representing letter A and say:

Can you tell me what this picture is? Very good! This is a picture of an ape.

Listen as I isolate the beginning sound of this word.

Ape. "A", "a", "a".
A says "a" as in ape.
Let me hear you. "A", "a", "a".
Ape. "A", "a", "a".
A says "a" as in ape.
Very GOOD!

Now point to the picture representing letter T and say:

Can you tell me what this picture is? Very good! This a picture of a tiger.

Listen as I isolate the beginning sound of this word.

Tiger. "T", "t", "t".
T says "t" as in tiger.
Let me hear you. "T", "t", "t".
Tiger. "T", "t", "t".
T says "t" as in tiger.
Very GOOD!

In the flipbook, turn to the flip chart section of the book. In the 4th column of the flip chart, flip to the letter A. In the 5th column of the flip chart, flip to the letter T. In the 6th column of the flip chart, flip to the letter E.

Show me the letter A. Very good!

Show me the letter T. Very good!

Show me the letter E. Very good!

Remember, the E is silent.

Now listen as I blend A and T (point to each letter as you say it).
"A", "t". "Ate".
"A", "t". "Ate".

Let us do that together.
"A", "t". "Ate".
"A", "t". "Ate".

Now let me listen to you as you do it.
