Flipping For Phonics

Why do we sell this wonderful educational tool?

For generations, phonics has proven to be the best method to teach reading. When children learn that words are made up of individual and separate sounds they then have the ability to begin blending and the confidence needed to learn to read.

Flipping for phonics has carefully chosen real life pictures to represent pure phonetic sounds. This patented flip book is  the only one of  its kind on the market with 6 cascading tiers of letters A through Z.  Fumbling to find the next letter is eliminated. This keeps young readers from being distracted and helps them focus. The 6 columns of letters increase the young readers learning capacity to over 2000 words.

This educational tool compliments any existing phonics program or can be used by itself and is  currently used in public, charter and independent private schools. The directions are easy to follow and educators also recommend Flipping For Phonics for home use.

By using Flipping for Phonics products children learn to read while developing visual, kinetic and auditory skills. This multi-sensory approach is a hands-on method that will make learning fun, easy and help create excellent readers.

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!

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. Good job!
