Phonics Starter Kits
Beginner Elementary Phonics and Alphabet Awareness / Ages 4-10
Phonics Starter is a starting point for basic phonics for children at a variety of ages. It concentrates on checking and building students' basic motor skills, phonemic awareness, initial letter writing and linking/application to illustrated vocabulary. The three starter kits cover the entire alphabet, and gradually introduce different kinds of ways for the students to begin applying their phonemic and writing skills.
Each kit consists of five lessons - how they are applied and over what time frame is at the discretion of the teacher, but it is recommended that each kit represent roughly one month's study as a supplementary application to either an existing Phonics book or the students' standard textbook.
By the conclusion of the series, students should be able to apply at least three vocabulary words to each letter of the alphabet, and confidently engage in such activities as linking and Alpha-Keys.
