Synthetic Phonics for Can Do Cubes Home Edition -
Stage One: the simple alphabetic code
A set of 27
hardwood cubes, each cube being laser engraved with six letters, or combination
of letters, representing different sounds of speech (phonemes). There are eight
different combinations of letters. This set contains six cubes of the first
combination and three each of the other seven. The order in which these should
be introduced is shown on the box which contains them and explained in the
accompanying book and DVD.
The DVD
features Debbie Hepplewhite discussing the theory and
teaching of Synthetic Phonics and 'sounding out' the 42 phonemes which make up
the simple alphabetic code.
Two 'at-a-glance' word charts list some words that can be formed as the
letters on the eight different cubes are taught.
Purchase of the Stage Two (complex alphabetic code)
set is not necessary for the full and successful enjoyment of the Stage One
(simple alphabetic code) set. However, the Stage Two set is an extremely
effective way of completing a learner's knowledge of the full alphabetic code.
It is, therefore, recommended that the Stage Two set is introduced as soon as a
learner's knowledge of Stage One is secure.

Stage Two: the complex alphabetic code
These hardwood cubes feature different spellings (graphemes) for
individual, identifiable sounds of English speech. For example, the cube for
the sound /ai/ features ai,
ay, a, ey, eigh and ea. The
set also contains uniquely linked cubes for split vowel digraphs (a-e, e-e, i-e, o-e, u-e including the use of 'i'
in words such as 'making'). Cubes displaying capital letters for shape/sound
recognition and matching with lower case, and basic punctuation are also
included.
The DVD, 28 hardwood cubes, an activities and instruction book, a 'Can
Do Cubes bag' and a wall chart showing Debbie's unique 'simple and complex
alphabetic codes overview' complete this set.
