Phonemes by Gwimpy

Have you ever had a surge of anxiety about your child facing the paraphernalia of phonics? Well, relax, you do not need a degree in linguistics to get to grips with the first stage. In fact with a brief introduction of the basics your child will soon be having creative fun with words, as any child should.

So a phoneme is the smallest unit of sound and your child will be taught about these as part of their phonics learning. There are forty five phonemes! Yes, a few more than twenty six letters of the alphabet.

Phonemes by Gwimpy will introduce your child to these sounds with the assistance of little helper who is also grappling to master them. The phoneme is pressed on the menu and the sound is reproduced with this sound being included in a word which is then reinforced by a short morphing of the phoneme into an object representing the word. That is it!

The test at the end randomly selects a phoneme so that your child can identify the sound with the written phoneme.

We hope you enjoy the learning and look forward to further journeys with Gwimpy and his little helper.
