Book Description:
"OO Words" is Book 3 of the "Phonic Words Series" by Billy Bumble aimed at young children at the early stages of learning to read. There are two versions of this e-book. One contains charming black-and-white sketch line drawings specifically designed for the Kindle and other black and white e-book readers. The other contains brightly coloured child-like illustrations for colour e-book readers.
The "Phonic Words" series of books form part of the Billy Bumble Learn to Read system. Each "Phonic Words" book focuses on a particular phonic sound. They should be used after your child has learnt to identify each letter sound from the alphabet individually.
The books each have a set of 12 words which are taught in 3 sections. In the first section, each word appears above its picture. In the second section, the picture appears on the page following the word. In the third section, there is a final page with the words alone. The word order is changed in each section.
For a free parents' guide, see the Parents page.
This book introduces both the long "oo" sound (such as in "pool") and also a few examples of the alternative short "oo" sound (such as in "book"). Your child will need to work out the correct sound from context and the pronunciation of the word.
