LOVING TO READ!!

At READable PHONICS we work hard to promote the LOVE of learning to READ and the LOVE of READing.  Did you know that if your child enjoys reading, that one skill can boost ALL of their other academics!

NEW FLASHCARD DESIGN

We are super excited about our new flashcard design!!  The card front features top color strip (purple - multi-letter phonogram, blue - vowels, consonants - green), beautiful color photograph featuring a child in an action pose that represents the phonogram sound, and the phonogram in white letters on a black background to help little eyes focus.  Studies have shown that this color combination of white on a black background is an effective learning tool for young children.


Card back features phonogram sound, example word, instructional help, spelling rule, and action.  To view more examples please visit our website @ www.readablephonics.com   Perfect for home or classroom use!
