Research shows that early instruction in phonics is the first step to reading success. Now Step into Reading is introducing a fun and comprehensive, educationally based phonics program designed to help kids learn to read, step by step! Developed by a phonics expert, each box includes eight brief books that cover a specific range of phonic skills. The boxed sets build on each other, and book by book, skills are reviewed and reinforced as new ones are introduced-giving kids the tools they need to crack the code of letters and sounds.A sample of featured skills: more digraphs (or two-letter blends that form a single sound) like bl-,qu-, and cr- additional two-letter phonograms (word parts) like -nk, -ck, and -sh three-letter, long-vowel phonograms like -ade, -een, -ive, and -okeWe now know-because science tells us-what teaching methods are most effective. The basics work. Reading programs that include phonics and phonemic awareness work.-Remarks from Mrs. Laura Bush on Preparing Tomorrows Teachersat the House Education and Workforce Committee, March 14, 2002
