Flo the Flamingo

by Sally Bates, Sarah-Leigh Wills (Illustrator), Anne Ayre (Editor)

Flo the Flamingo is having a birthday party. She loves dancing, swaying and swinging, jingling and jangling and fluttering her pink feathered wings! Ollie the orangutan is singing and playing the bongos - binga banga bonga! And all the flamingos are dancing, swaying and swinging to the beat of the bongos and fluttering their pink feathered wings. Written by a speech and language therapist, each story in the award winning Early Soundplay series helps parents and practitioners develop children's spoken and written language. The stories are packed with multiple repetitions of selected sounds and rhymes. Flo the Flamingo has a special focus on the sound 'ng'. The simple interactive storyline makes it easy for children to anticipate what happens next and to join in when they hear the story again. This provides lots of opportunities for them both to hear and practise saying 'ng' words. Children love sound play it's fun! And it helps their ability to recognise and say speech sounds in different words. This is not only important for clear speech but gives them a head start in phonics and learning to read and spell. The simple interactive story line makes it easy for children to anticipate what happens next and to join in when they hear the story again and again.
