Why do the Pollyphonic spelling activities include words with the focus phoneme in positions other than at the beginning of a word?
The CD ROM offers the ‘which start sound’ activity, which focuses on words that begin with the focus phoneme. However, when it comes to spelling, children need to hear and identify the relevant letter, wherever it happens to occur in a word. This is why the Pollyphonic activity includes the phoneme in different positions within a word.
