First Phonics

This First Phonics curriculum program ensures that a child's first experiences with reading are fun and successful. Each student is given a Learning Pocket which teaches skills each student needs to learn at their level. Reproducible flashcards of numbers, lowercase and uppercase letters, phonics sound sentences, and a few simple words address a variety of learning levels. In addition, reproducible Picture Charts that emphasize sounds can be enlarged to poster size or distributed individually.

An original poem, song, and vocabulary list accompany each letter, as well as a variety of art, cooking, creative writing, language arts, crafts and math projects.

There are video stories available separately based on the colorful alliterative phonics sentences and characters. They teach the letter sound, plus most teach a character-building lesson. These are only available from Bedford Publications or the author Betty Ward Cain.

This is the way reading was meant to be learned!
