Phonics

Most of the phonics on this page is All About Reading, the reading program in our Pre-K through 2nd grade kits. It's built on the Orton-Gillingham approach, teaches one concept at a time in about 20 minutes a day, and keeps sight words to a small handful, since about 97% of English words can be sounded out.

For a child who struggles with handwriting or has dyslexia, Touch-Type Read and Spell teaches phonics through typing, one small step at a time. Horizons Phonics and Reading runs from kindergarten through 2nd grade.
