Alpha-Phonics A Primer for Beginning Readers

This is the new 2019 version of Alpha-Phonics. Used by tens of thousands since it was introduced in the late 1970's. An effective, step-by-step, intensive phonics program for teaching reading to beginners of all ages. Alpha-Phonics is the most successful home-school reading program for one simple reason - it works! With Alpha-Phonics the beginner can be reading simple sentences by lesson three, and that can even be on the first day! Other reading instruction programs try to do way too much. They inject grammar, pictures and other material, needlessly complicating the task. Alpha-Phonics just teaches reading only. Alpha-Phonics has as a bonus: you teach spelling easily as you go (through simple dictation). Alpha-Phonics easily introduces over 3,500 words in its simple 128 lessons. Some students can learn to read in only months. Alpha-Phonics also works very well for older students, even grown adults who need remediation. Is there a negative about Alpha-Phonics? Yes. In the past 30 years we have heard only one criticism (Only a few times). It is: Some Moms say they think their child can become bored when taught by Alpha-Phonics. Why? Parents have been convinced that learning has to be fun-time. They have been led to believe games, card decks, cartoons/pictures, spin the needle tricks, etc., make it fun. They feel they have to entertain their kids while teaching. But, this unnecessarily slows down the process. With Alpha-Phonics the student can actually be reading simple sentences even day one! Alpha-Phonics is probably the simplest, most effective, wonderfully priced phonics instruction programs available.
