Finding Out 1 Software

Just started using the Finding Out 1 Software again, after a long while.  I haven`t taught children
for a few years now.   I just took over from another teacher at my school and I want to improve their phonics knowledge and reading skills.    To do this as painlessly as possible, one method I am
using is David Paul`s FO1 Software.

Yesterday, the 7-11 year olds were laughing at the humour and animations of this software.   Though at this point it is old, it is still one of my favourites in the classroom.     I feel there is much solid pedagogy here and less downtime than some of the other titles on offer.


FO1 is still available for download from ELT News.
