Frequently asked questions

How quickly does one progress through this package?

The goal of this package is to give you many different exercises to prepare your child for reading and spelling.  Go at your child's pace, incorporating one or two through out your day or in their reading lessons.

What if my child cannot master rhyming?

Not all children will master rhyming.  If your child is getting frustrated and so are you, because they are not grasping the rhyming concept, move on to the next activities. Keep reintroducing concepts of rhyming but don't feel like you can't move forward to the other activities without rhyming mastery.

How does phonological awareness actually help with reading and spelling?

1.  The ability to manipulate sounds in spoken language is the foundation for strong reading and spelling.
2. Sounding out (segmenting) phonemes in a word provides the necessary skills to read words with confidence and begin to spell.
