Phonics

Phonics is the study of letters or groups of letters and the sounds they make. The study of phonics aids in reading, writing, and spelling.

All About Spelling: This spelling program is designed for the beginning or struggling learner and brings together the three modalities of learning – auditory (hearing), visual (seeing), and kinesthetic (touching). If your student is a good reader but poor speller, an all-around “horrible speller,” has “hit the wall” when it comes to spelling, learns one day and forgets the next, or just learns differently, this may be the program you need. This is a building-block program, so most students should start with Level 1. Grades 1-8.
