The most vital step in every child's early reading is to connect the movement of the mouth with the sounds of the alphabet. This is such a simple concept, but is fundamental to the development of reading. Look At My Mouth is a world first - a literacy mirror book which shows children this connection. Children see their mouth in the mirror as they look at the pictures and make the sounds of the alphabet. This awareness of mouth formations is essential for the development and understanding of different sounds and the vital step into school reading programs. 'Look At My Mouth' is also a great way to identify early speech difficulties so they can be helped at the earliest stages. Anna Gill is a Sydney based linguistics teacher, who has taught speech development and literacy in NSW primary schools. Her specialist area is pre-reading and early intervention with speech and reading difficulties.
