If your child is struggling with phonics, give these workbooks a try!

If your child hasn’t started with phonics, here’s an easy way to start for both parent and child.

Here are some sample pages.

There are 6 steps to mastering the easiest vowel teams. Yes, we start with the easiest vowel teams because many of them are easier to sound out than CVC words.

Step 1 is learning to identify the phonogram by sight.

Step 2 is learning to recognize the sound of the phonogram.

Step 3 is sounding out the words.

Step 4 is learning new vocabulary.

Step 5 is segmenting and spelling words.

Step 6 is writing the words.

And finally there’s plenty of review!
