Sounds in Focus is a whole-school spelling and language programme. 

Use Sounds in Focus to develop language proficiency by continually developing:
  • spelling skills
  • vocabulary
  • grammar concepts
  • writing
With the pupil book for 5th Class, pupils engage in stimulating activities to:
  • explore phonemes
  • identify and discover graphemes
  • develop strategies for spelling; and
  • explore and extend vocabulary.

    We have been using Sounds in Focus throughout our school for one year now. We chose it initially, as we sought a scheme that would combine the focus on phonemes and graphemes in the teaching of spellings. We also felt that this programme would bring a focus back to phonics in the senior classes. We used the books in a graded spelling approach from September, based on results scored in the Drumcondra Spelling Test in the previous May. We found the brainstorming session on introduction of each sound to be beneficial for the children, whilst the downloadable games and activities acted as effective reinforcement.
