Puppies in PJs Stickers

For years I have searched for a phonics program that I really LOVED Finally I think I hit on it! Steck Vaughn Phonics really hit a home run at my house! My second grader has struggled with learning to read While I've never encountered such a difficulty before I knew that a firm foundation in phonics was key to her acquiring this skillThese workbooks took us back the the very beginning of the alphabet We worked on each letter's sounds and then the vowels followed by various blends By Christmas she was reading much better than she was at the beginning of the year It might have been just maturity but I think the program helped her review the basics so the decoding process was easierThe teacher's manual included all the answers to the pages (I hardly ever used the manual for grading purposes) and many suggestions for rounding out the program with enrichment activities You could get away with not purchasing the manual if money is an issue at your house but you would want to add in some activities to make phonics learning more funThis program is NOT a super advanced program like ABeka or Bob Jones But for my struggling learner it was perfect The pages are super colorful and loaded with fun graphics photos and illustrations At the end of each unit there is a tear out booklet the child can staple together to make a book to readThe program was simple enough that my daughter did not feel that she was a failure each day If you have a child with a reading difficulty I would definitely recommend this series of books I am planning on using the Kindergarten level for my 5 year old next year and the grade 3 level for my 8 year old
