A unique collection of phonic rhymes for precise practice in speaking and reading.
The problem, often met by teachers, of finding memorable rhymes which concentrate solely on one specific sound has been solved by Mary Nash-Wortham in her book Phonic Rhyme Time. Traditional rhymes can be confusing. They tend to contain sounds which, while appearing to be similar, are actually significantly different. In contrast, every rhyme and verse in Phonic Rhyme Time has been selected because it is dedicated to just one precise sound. The book has an excellent introductory section which describes how speech sounds are produced, with illustrations of consonant and vowel positions.

The book is invaluable in general language teaching as an extension of vocabulary
and spelling work and for special needs teaching.The wide range of rhymes means
it is suitable for children and adults. The clear presentation enables easy selection
and varied use of the rhymes.
Phonic Rhyme Time features:
- devised for all teachers, therapists and students of speech.
- over 200 original and traditional rhymes and verses.
- all phonic positions, initial, medial and final are covered independently.
- sound blends for beginning, middle and end of words.
- separate vowel sound exercises.
- spiral bound for convenient use.
- publisher permits copying for small groups.
"This collection of intelligent rhymes for each sound, and one in which the concentration of sound in each rhyme is so strong, is an invaluable tool for every teacher and student. I have found Phonic Rhyme Time enormously illuminating and thought-provoking. I commend it without reservation." (From the Foreword by Shaun McKenna. Principal of Examinations. LAMDA)
Due to its suitability for adults with learning difficulties, Phonic Rhyme Time was selected by the Book Trust for inclusion in Read-easy 2 (Margaret R Marshall and Dorothy Porter), sponsored by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.
