Phonic Limerick Friends is a fun, practical way to enhance
children's phonic understanding and enable them to see phonic
sounds in context. This resource contains 26 humorous limericks,
one for each of the letters of the alphabet. Each short, funny poem
features a cute alliterative character such as Alfie Ant or Zoe
Zebra. Children soon become familiar with these characters; it's
very rewarding when they pick up a picture book to enthusiastically
point out a Hannah the Horse word or an Alfie the Ant word. By
showing phonemes in context in a funny little poem, rather than
simply decoding a list of words, we are encouraging a love of
reading from the very beginning - which is, of course, the reason
we teach children to read in the first place! Children will enjoy
and remember these amusing, creative limericks and this will help
them internalise the link between the grapheme (what the letter
looks like) and the phoneme (the letter sound). So when they see
the letter 'j' they will think of Jenny the Jet, for example, and
be able to visualise her jumping into a juicy jelly. The limericks
also allow children to see and hear the phonic sound repeatedly in
context. Each limerick contains at least 8 words containing the
phonic sound that is being focused on, so for 'j', for example they
see and hear: Jenny, jet, jumbo, jumper, jams, jiggles, jump,
juicy, jelly.
