A very impressive scientific-approach phonics program, based on Dr. Orton’s research. Divided into 77 lessons, each thoroughly explained, this program progresses step-by-step through the 42 sounds of the alphabet, the five phonetic skills, and the two-step decoding system that picks up where a lot of phonics instruction leaves off, by teaching children how to decode multiple syllable words. Penmanship instruction is included. The kit comes with a pronunciation tape.
