Vowel sounds can be spelt in many different ways. To acquire spelling skills, we need to learn the spelling patterns of each vowel sound, and there are often many different ways of spelling a single sound. For example, the words 'he', 'tree' and 'key' all make the long 'e' sound, but are spelt in different ways. The Vowel Sound Directory has identified 19 different vowel sounds in 3 categories: long vowels, short vowels and r-controlled vowels. During written expression children can access the vowel sound in a word and the different ways of spelling that sound. The unique flipbook and tabbed design means that pupils will be able to find words and sounds quickly, and the Smart Phonics colour coding is used throughout this clearly illustrated resource. Useful throughout primary and for older children with special needs.

IMPORTANT UPDATE 28/01/25
We are experiencing an influx of late orders. We understand school starts that today. If you placed your order between Thursday and Midday Saturday, and haven't received a message to say that your order is ready, we are working as hard as we can to get your order ready today.
New orders placed from Midday Saturday onwards will be added to the queue and picked in order of receival. We will do our very best to get your order ready as soon as we can, however there may be a wait of 2 to 3 days. If you choose to order we will send you a processing message then a second message that states 'order is ready' once it's ready for pickup. .
Please be patient with our staff. We had 30 staff working over the back-to-school period to get orders ready and we are really proud of what they achieved. Some of them have now returned to school and university so we have a much smaller staff onboard today. If an item on your order is out of stock, it will be backordered for you and noted on the paperwork supplied with your order.
Open Monday Tuesday Friday from 8am-4pm. Open Wednesday Thursday from 8am-5pm.Open Saturday from 8am - 12pm closing strictly at midday.
