Teaching Literacy in African Classrooms with Fantastic Phonics
Fantastic Phonics is simple, with short sentences which rhyme, and have comical situations. In the video, you can see how the teacher has developed a class engagement process - while one child says the featured sentence, the whole class joins and repeats. |
You can also see that Fantastic Phonics is independent of technology. The stories have been printed using low-cost processes, and bundled together to form a solid, well-thumbed book.
Fantastic!
