Oxford Phonics Spelling Dictionary

為什麼 sun 和 Cinderella 開頭字母不同，卻都有 /s/ 的聲音？為什麼 egg 和 eat 都以 e 開頭，發音卻不一樣？Oxford Phonics Spelling Dictionary 從孩子實際「聽見的聲音」切入，把 phonics 與拼字之間的關係整理得更清楚。

本書依孩子在學校學習的語音與拼字規則編排，不只介紹單字開頭的發音，也分別整理相同聲音出現在字中、字尾時的拼法，並設有長母音與不同拼字方式的獨立單元。熟悉的 Oxford Reading Tree 角色與 Alex Brychta 彩色插畫貫穿全書，讓這本工具書更容易親近，可在家查閱，也適合搭配學校 phonics 課程使用。

This new edition of the Oxford Phonics Spelling Dictionary is an easy home and school reference tool. With words ordered by their initial phonic sound and colourful illustrations by Alex Brychta and the familiar Oxford Reading Tree characters, it helps children using synthetic phonics and prepare for the screening check. Supported by the Floppy's Phonics Sounds and Letters Programme, it follows the Alphabetic Code Chart of sounds and alternative spellingsthat children learn at school.

There are subsections to show how the same sounds appear in the middle or at the end of a word and a separate section of the long vowel sounds and their alternative spellings. With this dictionary, it easy to explain how 'sun' and 'Cinderella' both start with the 's' sound andhow 'dance' has the same 's' sound at the end, while 'egg' and 'eat' start with the same letter but different sounds. There is additional phonics support material and audio on the Oxford Owl website, www.oxfordowl.co.uk.
