Phonics Fun with Biff, Chip & Kipper Volume 1 - Levels 1, 1+ & 2
At Level 1 children focus on the sounds they hear around them in daily life – at school, at home, in the park or in town. Levels 1+ and 2 move onto practising the actual sounds (phonemes) and also start to introduce some alternative spellings of certain sounds. Phonics Fun with Biff, Chip & Kipper offers fun and interactive ways to help children learn to read. The three volume series is available exclusively on Nintendo 3DS and 2DS systems as a way for kids to develop digital reading skills while using their fun and familiar Nintendo handheld consoles. Phonics Fun with Biff, Chip & Kipper brings to life the stories using touch-screen features for simple navigation during exercises, fully spoken instructions, and microphone playback for children to record their voice and check their pronunciation skills. Parents are encouraged to support their children and join in the fun, with the chance to sing along to songs with their kids, read aloud story lyrics, and for those eager to keep track of a child's progress, can even check out useful data on how they are faring after each set of exercises. Phonics Fun with Biff, Chip & Kipper uses the phonics method used in the popular textbook stories of Floppy’s Phonics from Oxford Reading Tree, and presents it in a more interactive way than ever before with the use of the many fun and intuitive features of Nintendo 3DS and 2DS systems. A handy Parents Guide is also included with each game to learn more about the exercises and the teaching methods they use.
