This cheerfully illustrated, non-slip vinyl mat transports your pupils to a busy frog pond on a sunny day, enhancing their enjoyment of phonics activities and stimulating their imaginations. Use the games to complement your usual teaching, to introduce, practise and reinforce phonic concepts, skills and knowledge outlined in PiPs and steps 2-4 of Playing with Sounds, and encourage recognition of high frequency NLS sight words containing irregular graphemes. The mat offers a focal point for the games and gives the activities a bright, colourful context to ensure your children are hopping up and down in anticipation of their next Big Frog Pond session!
