Fun With Phonics! Using research-based methods to turn kids into better readers, writers and spellers.
Research has found that successful readers are able to do two things very well. They:
- Phonetically sound out unfamiliar words.
- Recognize a wide range of sight words. These are words that do not follow phonetic rules and simply need to be memorized by a child.
At Fun with Phonics, children learn both of these skills in a fun and nurturing environment.
Every week your child will:
- Receive individual phonics instruction with the phonics program used by reading specialists in the top NYC schools.
- Move on to new words/skills. Each week your child will be provided with his or her own personalized, fun activities to bring home so that he or she can practice these words and skills.
- Play phonics and sight word games.
- Read out loud from books individually selected for his or her level.
