At some point, you notice that your children are trying to sound out the words they see in the world around them. When that happens, it's time to introduce our phonetic reading program. These materials make that process effortless while instilling a joyful love of language in our students.

Our phonetic reading materials follow the predictable rules of English. Our goal here is to help the children realize that they can read by offering them predictability and half of English actually is predictable! We want to give them lots of practice at this word-based level so that they gain confidence in their ability to read and begin to develop their capacity to automatically read common words. 

1. Start with Phonetic Level 1 for simplest phonetic words (pink series)
2. Move on to Phonetic Level 2 to add in phonetic consonant blends (blue series)
3. Get your phonogram work going with Phonetic Level 3: Phonograms (green series)
4. Pull it all together in Phonetic Level 4 with phonetic words that contain more than one phonogram including compound words

Next, increase the challenge by presenting words without photos in our Phonetic Word Cards, Phonetic Activity Cards, and Phonogram Lists.
