New Phonics Museum 2nd Edition
Both the Kindergarten and 1st Grade kits have been fully revised with fresh, energetic graphics and updated primers (especially improved in Grade 1 to better align with the Phonics Museum App). The 2nd Edition is not compatible with 1st Edition materials.
Each Grade Level Kit includes everything you need: Teacher Manual, Student Workbook, primers, flashcards, game components, puzzle pieces, and more. A convenient Combo Kit is also available for both grades, and additional Student Sets (with or without primers) make it easy to teach multiple children.
Phonics Museum stands out for its creative museum theme, seamless integration of art and history, and its ability to have children reading real books quickly while building lasting confidence and a love for learning. The program has a gentle Christian perspective with biblical references limited mostly to the first couple of lessons and a few art cards.
