Designed for: Children with an early knowledge of phonics • Children who can recognize basic sounds and read simple words
A structured and slightly faster-paced phonics program for children who already have some familiarity with letter sounds and basic word reading. The program begins with a quick revision of A–Z sounds and then progresses into word building, phonics patterns, reading, spelling, and application.

The program is designed for children who already have some basic phonics knowledge and are ready to move forward at a faster pace.
After a focused revision of A–Z sounds, children progress into word making, blending, segmenting, phonics rules, spelling patterns, reading, and application.
The goal is to help children use the phonics knowledge they already have and develop greater speed, accuracy, confidence, and independence while reading and spelling.
