Phonics Foundations™ Song Book
Introduce Letter-Sound Correspondence With Ease
A simple, engaging way to support early phonics development through rhythm, repetition, and play.
This thoughtfully designed song book helps children build confidence with letter sounds using familiar, repetitive songs set to the tune of Skip to My Lou. Each song follows a consistent structure, allowing children to quickly learn new sounds through music, movement, and routine.
Aligned with the Australian Curriculum and Literacy Hub guidance, this resource supports a systematic synthetic phonics approach to early reading.
How It Supports Learning
Each song focuses on a target sound, with clear modelling of how the sound is produced. Children are encouraged to join in through voice and simple actions, strengthening memory, engagement, and understanding.
Letter sounds are introduced in a carefully structured sequence to support:
Phoneme (sound) recognition
Grapheme (letter) awareness
Early blending skills for reading
This helps children move beyond recognising sounds and begin using them for real reading.
How to Use This Book
Use one song per week alongside your phonics lesson
Repeat the song daily to build confidence and recall
Encourage your child to copy the sound and actions
Revisit previous songs regularly to consolidate learning
Consistency is key — short, repeated practice leads to strong, lasting foundations.
