Introducing our Phase 3 Sound Mat: a unique, inclusive tool designed to support phonics learning with a diverse range of illustrations and accurate phoneme representations. This sound mat is not just an educational resource—it is a reflection of the world around us. Featuring culturally diverse foods, an individual with a missing finger, and depictions of occupations that challenge traditional gender roles, this mat promotes inclusivity and breaks down stereotypes.
Unlike traditional sound mats where the pictures often do not match the phonemes, our Phase 3 Sound Mat ensures each image and word pairing is phonetically accurate, helping children build stronger connections between sounds and letters. Each phoneme is clearly represented by a word that correctly matches the sound it makes, empowering young learners to decode language with confidence. Perfect for classrooms, home learning, or any phonics-based curriculum, this sound mat makes phonics practice more engaging, accurate, and inclusive for every learner.
