Phonic reading books for beginner readers and reluctant readers. Books for dyslexics, activity books, books for letters and sounds. Progressive Phonics stays with the “American” version of these letters because they resemble the PRINTED versions of these letters, which children see every day in their books and schoolpapers. Children can learn the alternate versions of these letters when they learn their cursive or italic forms of handwriting. Our phonics books make it easier (and more fun!) to teach children how to read. Better still, ANYONE can use them, which makes it ideal for parents, home-schooling, teacher assistants, volunteers and teachers who need more resources.
