What is it about phonics that makes it so effective? Phonics is a sequential method of learning to read that is easier to teach than some of the more complex methods being used today. Not only is phonics easier to teach—it's easier to learn.

Teach Your Child to Read™—6 Easy Steps:

We start at the very beginning—learning the sounds of each letter. These sounds will be the building blocks your child will use to assemble words. Many (if not most) adults do not know how to pronounce the individual sounds of letters, but that's OK. The audio guide takes care of that for you.

In Step 2, magic happens. By combining the sounds of individual letters, your child will learn to build words, one sound at a time. As simple as it may appear to sound out the word 'cat,' for example, once your child can do this, he or she is actually reading.

Once your child can sound out short, simple words, you will move on to learning phonetic blends such as 'sh' and 'th.' By now, learning sounds has become easy for your child, and you might find your pupil moving along more quickly.

At this point, your child knows the sounds of the individual letters and some more advanced blends. You will be surprised how many words he or she can sound out, largely unprompted by you. Upon completion of Step 4, many parents find their children reading words everywhere they go: on signs, menus, screens, and books.

Learning the concept of the silent vowel—and what to do when it pops up in a word—can be tricky. We use the 'sleeping baby' technique to help children adjust when they come across a combination of letters that makes one vowel silent and the other sound different. 

Now it's time to read for the pure fun of it! Children love the Storybooks in Teach Your Child to Read™—short, simply-illustrated stories for your child to enjoy.
