Give your early learners the foundation they need to read
and communicate for life with BJU Press Phonics and English (5th Ed). Phonics songs, colorful visuals, and awareness
activities help students grasp new phonetic concepts. Writing and grammar
skills are introduced with a simple, natural approach that begins with
capitalization, punctuation, sentence structure, and progresses to short
paragraphs. Chapter reviews also offer consistent indications of student
comprehension.
The Student Worktext features interactive review
activities, songs and manipulatives, and oral and writing exercises to help
learn the principles of phonics through word family and syllable instruction.
The Student Activities Worktext offers a review of daily lesson content
as well as spiral reviews. Six-unit tests are included to enable teachers to
measure student comprehension and application. The Part I and Part II Teacher
Editions empower teacher instruction using the research-based four-step
teaching cycle: engage, instruct, apply, and assess. This teacher edition
offers systematic and explicit phonics instruction using memorable phonics
characters and word families. Access free additional resources on The
Homeschool Hub through BJU press.
