About this teaching resource
Edward Lear creates a whole lot of phonic/sound fun in his collection of nonsense rhymes!
In this Nonsense Alphabet Lear creates an alphabet of nonsense rhyming words. Each verse gives children an engaging opportunity to listen to and explore the same sound in words.
N was Once a Little Needle: Explores long /e/ sound, as in needle
Having fun with words in this way encourages extensive word and sound exploration to support phonological development. Before too long, students will become masters of the sound patterns, creating and adding their own words.
The importance of phonics, listening to sounds in words, is essential for reading and writing development.
