Fantastic FREE Phonics resource website

Visit English Grade 1 teacher Christopher Thorne at http://www.mrthorne.com  or www.mrthornedoesphonics.com for hundreds of free video clips on all aspects of learning to read using the phonics method. And other english literary helps as you may glean from a couple of the clips below.







Onomatopeia

 





Words to use instead of nice.

 


Mr Thorne's clips are an enjoyable and colourful watch for children. And also suitable for ESL students. I've written to him more than once about doing Doman and Shichida style flashcard videos for babies and toddlers. It may happen. I also recently asked him if he'd donate an AUTOGRAPHED COPY of his brand spanking new first children's picture book, "Geraldine the Giraffe", as a giveaway on this blog. (He'll be famous one day - mark my words!). He answered yes, so keep checking in as I plan to have a major giveaway session beginning in a few weeks. His book's a great read - I saw a video clip of the entire story before he took the clip down (or hid it in some fashion).
