An introduction by the author of the series, Ruth Miskin, explains how children can be taught the sounds logically. Children and adults are shown in close-up, pronouncing each phoneme while the corresponding grapheme (letter) is shown alongside on the Read Write Inc Speed Sounds card. Sounds are grouped in easy-to learn sets: bouncy consonants; stretchy consonants; bouncy vowels; stretchy vowels. The video concludes with a section to allow children to copy and practise the sounds.
