Educational Resource Awards Winner 2010
Mantra Lingua's Talking Phonics is the winner of the 2010 Educational
Resource Awards (ERAs), Best Early Years Educational Resource with ICT. Organised by the British Educational
Suppliers Association (BESA) and Affinity Media, the ERAs highlight the
quality and diversity of educational products and resources. The
winners were announced at a gala event held at
The Motorcycle Museum, Birmingham on the second evening of The
Education Show 2010.
A resource to put fun into phonics, using ground-breaking technology to
make the fundamentals of reading enjoyable. Children can explore areas
of the many resources in the pack with the RecorderPEN to hear songs,
sounds, information and instructions. They can record themselves into
the resources and hear their own voices played back instantly – ideal
for developing sound discrimination skills, practising pronunciation
and building confidence.
Thanks to everyone who visited us at the
Education Show.
