Here’s a short promotional video on our August publication, Teaching Kids to Read by Australian literacy specialist Fay Tran.

It includes a pithy quote from Australia’s new Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, as well as a demonstration of how to use phonics cards to teach kids to recognise word sounds (or phonemes, as experts call them). How would you pronounce ‘ti’? Prepare for a surprise.
