This Bilum Books Phonics for PNG, Elementary 2 Student Book program is written specifically for Papua New Guinea. It is intended to support the Phonics Standard in the New Standards-Based English Syllabus for Elementary Schools in PNG.
At each level, sounds are introduced in the same order as the Standards-Based English Teacher Guides for Elementary Prep, Elementary 1 and Elementary 2. The aim is to provide extra support for students and teachers that will help to reinforce and consolidate what is taught in the classroom.
Each Student Book is full of examples and activities for oral practice of each sound. The pictures and words help students to see the connection between pictures, words and sounds. They 'bridge' speaking and listening activities to reading and writing.
Phonics is about the sounds that letters make. To become good readers, students must know the sounds that each letter or group of letters can represent. Students who do not understand the relationship between letters and sounds are disadvantaged.
Phonics for Papua New Guinea will help Elementary School students become good readers and writers.
