Why are Phonics Skills Important?

To successfully learn to read, all children need to master phonics skills.  Phonics instruction teaches children how to match letters to the sounds they stand for and how to blend these letter sounds into words.  A child with strong phonics skills is able to read new words with ease and confidence.

How Does This Program Teach Phonics?

Each class includes formal phonics instruction as well as enjoyable phonics games.

Children also learn phonics skills with a self-paced workbook and audio CD program, featuring an exciting story and colorful artwork that keep students engaged and motivated. Children apply their new skills right away in the ongoing cartoon story, a unique and effective feature of this workbook.

As a result, your child will enter first grade with a solid foundation in phonics. The workbook and CD program will continue to support your son or daughter's skill development throughout the school year.
