Description
- Lessons can be taught in short 5-10 min increments, using fun, engaging activities.
- Phonics Level A contains 8 easy lessons. In each lesson, children learn 3-4 new letter sounds that are used to practice blending. Using this incremental approach, learning to read is simple and non-intimidating.
- Animal letters are initially used to help children remember the sound each letter makes, so they can start reading faster.
- From the beginning, children are taught to stretch and “sing” each letter’s sound, so they can start blending faster.
- For each letter, children use a “dance move” or hand sign to help remember the sound. Using physical movement speeds learning, makes reading more fun & assists parents in identifying learning gaps.
- This program teaches children the rules for decoding around 96% of common words in simple, easy to understand terms. All words contained in the lessons and readers are words that children can sound out using rules they have learned.
- High frequency words are emphasized.
- In Phonics Level A, children are taught how to blend with all 26 letters. In Levels B and C, children are taught additional rules that help them to decode around 96% of common words.
