letterland

Letterland是一套圖像拼音系統，適合3歲以上的小朋友學習。Letterland圖像拼音人物化每一個英文字母，每個字母有其獨特的個性及故事，讓小朋友透過故事的內容掌握英文字母的發音。透過互動教學模式、故事中人物角式扮演、繪畫及唱遊等活動來加強拼音學習興趣。Letterland不單是學習英語拼音，還可以提高學習英語的興趣，從而提高小朋友閱讀理解及寫作、拼音及串字能力，對掌握英文默書(Unseen Dictation) 技巧及改善英語口音有很大幫助。

Letterland Phonics Programme 的課程主要分為3個階段:

1. Early Years Programme：認識26個字母及其發音、主題人物及其故事內容

2. Primary Years Programme：子音組合拼音(Consonants Blending) br, cr, bl, spl;長、短母音(Short Vowel & Long Vowel)

3. Advanced-Primary Continued Programme：進階課程，進一步改善英語口音

The phonics programme we follow is the Letterland syllabus used in pre-schools and primary schools in the U.K. The Letterland syllabus fuses the reality of letters with a delightful make-believe world that has its own innocent atmosphere. Each letter has a different character related to the phonics sound. We also use a variety of practical teaching aids based on the Letterland syllabus; such as songs, stories, jigsaw puzzles, puppets, flash cards etc.
