Sophie David demystifies phonics at Robinson

Robinson has signed Read, Write, Play: 100 Easy Ways to Make Phonics Fun for Children Aged 3-7 by Sophie David. Editorial director Tom Asker bought world rights in all languages from Darryl Samaraweera of Artellus Ltd, and the book will be out in hardback and ebook on 5 June.

Read, Write, Play is a resource for parents, carers and educators who 'want to transform phonics into a playful, accessible adventure'. Each of the 100 activities in the book is designed to be fun and quick to set up, catering to all learning styles and covering all six phases of the phonics curriculum.

David is the founder of Little Happy Learners and an Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) specialist with more than a decade's experience in education. She said: "Read, Write, Play is a phonics book like no other. Covering all six phases of phonics, this book is packed with practical, hands-on activities to make learning to read and write easy and fun. The book is the only companion you’ll need to guide your child through the world of phonics. I wrote this book to demystify phonics for parents and carers, helping them navigate their children’s first years of school with confidence and ease."

Asker said: "Phonics is a source of so much confusion for parents who simply want to help their child learn to read and write but don’t know where to begin. This book is the antidote. The imaginative, easy activities Sophie has created make the whole process playful, memorable and loads of fun!"
