Description
Publisher's Description of Happy Phonics Digital Version
When my son Ammon was a very bright, wiggly and energetic 5-year-old, he couldn't seem to get interested in workbooks or sit still for lessons. The only way I could get his attention long enough to teach him to read was to play games with him. Over the years, these games have evolved into an easy, happy way to teach children to read, from the very first step (learning the ABC song) through advanced phonics and spelling.
Simple, yet entertaining and educational, these phonics games are printed on colorful, sturdy cardstock ready to cut out. Included is a mother-friendly guidebook which contains the details on how I teach phonics and reading, how to pronounce and teach the phonics sounds, how to make your own simple beginning readers, and step-by-step teaching info for each phonics sound.
Happy Phonics covers beginning to advanced phonics and is the sum total of my experience. My children enjoy the games and never really realize that they are drilling phonics sounds! Enjoy learning games, little books, and activities as well as a 76-page beginning reader, My Big Book. Use with the Explode the Code Primers A, B, C for a complete manuscript handwriting and phonics course.
I think you will be very pleased with the pain-free, rapid reading results! I guarantee you will love it and your child will learn to read, or I'll send your money right back--happily!

Category Description for Happy Phonics
The essence of Happy Phonics is to introduce phonics concepts a few at a time and then play games for retention. Written by a homeschool mom, Mrs. Hopkins has boiled the entire process down into eight steps: alphabet song; capital letters match lowercase letters; the main sound for each letter; blend letter sounds to form a word; teach common non-phonetic (sight) words; teach vowels that can make a second sound; teach through the phonic units; READ.
The games and other reinforcement activities are a central component of this program, and some preparation is required. Cutting out and possibly laminating the games is the most time-consuming part of the program. The author suggests that lesson time be about 10 minutes a day. The package contains the Happy Phonics Guidebook, “My Big Book,” and plenty of printed, brightly colored paper and cardstock - flashcards, game components, first little readers and spelling lists. The Guidebook contains the Eight Steps along with specific how-to instructions for each step. Suggestions for written practice and supplemental readers are found in the program.
