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.
Analytical phonics-an approach associated with the teaching of reading in which the phonemes associated with particular graphemes are not pronounced in isolation. Children identify (analyse) the common phoneme in a set of words in which each word contains the phoneme under study.
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.
