All phonics lessons begin here. Children learn all of the letter sounds and their corresponding letter shapes required to master reading as well as spelling and keyboarding skills.
Letter Sounds Selection
Over the 100 lessons 61 phonics letter sounds are systematically introduced and practiced.
Spelling Letter Sounds
Learn keyboarding skills by typing sounds, words and complete sentences.
Next, letter sounds are systematically blended into beginning, middle and ending sounds in words. Letter sounds are then used in word blending exercises teaching how to decode individual sounds and combine them to create words.
Beginning, Middle and Ending Sounds in Words
Your child will learn which letter, from a set of letters shown, matches the beginning, middle, or ending sound in 188 presentations of these recited words.
Word Blending
Your child will learn how to blend separate sounds together to form the sound of these 357 individual words.
The Reading Zone uses the letter sounds and word
blends previously learned forming new words and builds the ability to read
complete English sentences and short stories with ease. The story reading
exercise contains the equivalent of dozens of children's early reading books.
Progressively over the 100 lessons the following exercises are presented:
Sight Words
Learn to read the most commonly used words in the English language, also referred to as "high frequency sight words."
Spelling Sight Words
Learn to read and spell words from the Sight Words exercise using the keyboard.
Word Families
