Learning to read starts with learning alphabet letters and the corresponding sounds they make.

This book targets CVC words containing the short a sound such as bat, van and ham with lots of picture support . It's the perfect phonics early reader for toddlers, preschoolers, kindergarten and first grade. The Phonics for Kids Series has been designed to make learning phonics skills fast, easy and fun so that students not only become successful readers, but eager ones!

The Phonics for Kids series is for students just learning to read. Often the very first words kids learn to read are simple three letter words following a consonant/vowel/consonant (CVC) letter pattern with the short vowel sound in the middle. The Phonics for Kids series of books is ideal for: • Preschool and Kindergarten students who know their alphabet letters and sounds and are ready to “put it all together” and learn how to read. • English Language (ELL) students who are learning English as a second language. • Students with learning disabilities who need strong visual picture support to learn phonics skills. • Homeschooling families looking for books to help teach phonics skills quickly and easily. Our books are designed so a teaching background isn’t necessary to help teach a child successfully how to read. What makes this series unique? • Vowels are printed in red and consonants in blue to help readers visually recognize important phonics patterns in words. Reading teachers often use magnetic letters in these colors to manipulate letters into words. Our books are consistent for phonics instruction. • Realistic, high interest photographs, rather than illustrations, engage early readers and provide strong picture support. • The Phonics for Kids series helps early readers successfully crack the code for learning to read English. The Phonics for Kids series is ideal for: early readers, Preschool, Kindergarten, English Language Learners (ELL), students with Learning Disabilities and Homeschooling families.
