What is phonics: Phonics is an essential skill that can be taught at an early age. The first step to reading is called phonemic awareness. Phonemic awareness is the ability to hear and manipulate the individual sounds in spoken language. Excellent: This excellent book is combined with pictures, letters and sounds that will help the child learn to form the sounds needed to start reading words (when that time comes). This is not just a book, it’s a program in a book format. With this Phonics Alphabet Program book your child will discover just how much fun learning letters and sounds can be. There is also the opportunity to finger trace in the book. After being more familiar with the book the child can write on paper the letters while singing/reading the book in order to associate how to form the letters (with help), letter recognition and sounds (with help), with consistency. Writing helps improve memory and ignite a part of a child’s brain, improving the ability to remember. When the child learns and understands how to read, it will have lifelong benefits. Preparation: Let us help you prepare your child for the next level with our Alphabet Phonics Program book. Again, this isn’t just a book it’s a learning program turned into a book. With consistency, this program has helped me teach (when I taught in the classroom) small children the basics of how to recognize letters, their sounds, blend sounds, read, spell and write words through phonics.
