Phonics and Phonemic Awareness

Our English phonics program offers a structured, syllabic instructional approach that builds up from syllable to word recognition skills through manipulation of phonemes, blending and segmentation. 

Detailed lessons, visually engaging syllabic books, student worksheets, manipulative cards and posters support a clear and research-based cumulative progression of decoding and encoding skills. See the scope and sequence below for details. Interactive online games will also be available to encourage independent practice.
