At READable PHONICS our comprehensive program focuses on teaching children
(Pre Kindergarten through 6th grade) reading and spelling skills to help them develop CORE KNOWLEDGE academics with products that have been created specifically with their needs in mind. We believe that a child's play time can be one of the most productive learning times during a little one's day. This is because during play time more of a child's senses are utilized, facilitating a higher cognitive learning process and better retention.
With this in mind we have developed several CORE KNOWLEDGE activities and games for little ones, to encourage a love of learning through creative thinking and challenging play.
