Bridging Book 7 - Introduces New Sounds - Activity Pack

Bridging Book Seven, part of an educational series, introduces young learners to the complexities of the English language through engaging activities. The book is beautifully illustrated by Annalisa Jones and thoughtfully written by Sally Anne Jones, published by Guinea Pig Education. This particular instalment helps children explore new sounds, including silent letters, suffixes, and prefixes, enhancing their phonetic skills and spelling prowess. The character Zoggy, a smart little alien with super spelling powers, guides children through the intricacies of the language, from silent 'w' and 'b' to the tricky 'ough' sound, making the learning process both fun and memorable.

The book delves into various phonetic elements, such as the 'igh' sound which originated from the Viking language, and the 'ph' sound from Greek, sounding like 'f'. Zoggy, the protagonist, navigates through different scenarios, from spotting a door on his right to witnessing Father Christmas commanding his sleigh, all the while teaching children about the sounds they encounter. The narrative also touches upon the important rule 'i before e except after c', but only when the sound is 'ee', aiding children in overcoming common spelling challenges. With an array of words to learn and silent letters that can't be heard, Zoggy's adventures make spelling an exciting journey for young minds.
