1 Portuguese are generally known as explorers, thanks to Vasco da Gama, Henry the Navigator, Bartolomeu Dias, Pedro Alvares Cabral and FernÃ£o de MagalhÃ£es, among others.  References to their wine (âportoâ), Fado music or sardines are also typical, as are their beaches.
Children use these phonograms to learn about âword familiesâ for example cake, make, bake, fake. Embedded phonics-an approach to the teaching of reading in which phonics forms one part of a whole language programme.
Rhyme and repetition are engaging and effective strategies for teaching phonics skills. Cute, simple poems emphasize specific consonant digraphs. Each poem is followed by reproducible worksheets that support differentiated learning as part of an integrated reading and writing program. 48 pages plus 16 full-color transparencies.
