Sounds Together Programme

This programme has been developed to present the new methodology, simply and engagingly
for the rural Kindergarten One State Schools in Ghana. It aims to integrates a content approach of teaching
English through topics that relate to the Ghana Curriculum for Kindergarten One. The method of instruction within the
content approach combines a synthetic phonic English literacy programme with Total Physical Response teaching techniques.
It requires few resources:
- the blackboard
- children
- bottle tops
- straws
- stones
- and other environmental and realia items
