Classical Phonics: A Child's Guide to Word Mastery
Classical Phonics: A Child's Guide to Word Mastery by Memoria Press. Classical Phonics is a deceptively simple little book our teachers and families use constantly in kindergarten through second grade. It consists of phonetically-arranged word lists for students to practice their growing word recognition skills. In a word list there are no context clues, so the learner must rely on his mastery of letter sounds. For instance,if your child can pronounce each word in this list correctly - pot, pat, pit, put, pet - he knows his short vowel sounds, and you can move on to long vowels! If not, he needs more practice, and Classical Phonics is the most effective tool we know of to address the repetition that young ones need when learning to read. It can be used as a supplement to any phonics program and covers nearly all English phonographs and sounds taught through second grade. Grades K-2.
