Beautifully illustrated by Janie Frith, the rich colours and vibrant use of multi-media enhance this magical experience, highlighting the many different sights and spectacles a visitor might see on a Sydney Harbour boat trip.The AR in Sydney Harbour is a fun Australian-themed phoneme story that teaches young readers about the bossy vowel sound AR and where they can find it in different words. The first book from Judith and Janie, the OO in Uluru , won a 2019 Book of the Year award from Speech Pathology Australia; this is their eighth book, the others focussing on the sounds A, EE, I, O, OO, AU and NG. 

Author:
Judith Barker is an English teacher who has taught phonemic awareness to children in Europe, the Middle East, India and China. While completing an MA in Phonology, Judith began to use visual language in stories by colouring the different phonemes, so that children could make a holistic sense of the various spelling patterns. Judith published her first children’s book, The Oo in Uluru , in 2019, and it soon won a Book of the Year award from Speech Pathology Australia. Ee in the Sea followed in 2020 and O in the Snow in 2021. When Judith is not writing children’s stories or plays, she is usually found somewhere exploring the great outdoors.
