Sending children to school with Reading Ready Brains

In the early stages the children choose the 'Blue Cow' rather
than the Silly Schwa because they over pronounce the speech sounds when segmenting - however they quickly realise that within spoken words the Sound Pic (grapheme) actually maps with the schwa. This is why you will often see the Blue Cow Monster used, even though it is - technically - the schwa.
