Alpha-phonics a Primer for Beginning Readers

Publisher Marketing: Alpha-Phonics book. The fabled Alpha-Phonics systematic phonics instruction program by Samuel L. Blumenfeld used by hundreds of thousands since introduced in the late 1970's. Alpha-Phonics is probably the simplest, most effective and reasonably priced phonics instruction program available anywhere. HERE IS WHY IT WORKS SO WELL: IT IS SIMPLE!! There are only 44 phonograms (Sounds) the child needs to learn. Reading, contrary to what you have been told, is easy to teach because all you have to do is teach the student to SOUND OUT the words they need to read. At first they sound the words out aloud, later they do it in their head silently. That is ALL there is to teaching reading. MOM get this: All 128 Lessons in Alpha-Phonics are covered in ONLY 14 pages of instructions for you. (See SAMPLE PAGES above) Students begin with short vowels putting together simple words (Like a with m = am or a with s = as) and progress to the more advanced words. With Alpha-Phonics the beginner can be reading simple sentences by lesson three, and that can even be on the first day! Other programs try to do too much. They inject grammar, pictures and other material, needlessly complicating the task. Alpha-Phonics just teaches reading only. Alpha-Phonics has as a BONUS: you teach SPELLING easily as you go (through simple dictation). Alpha-Phonics easily introduces over 3,500 words in its simple 128 lessons. Some can learn to read in only months. Alpha-Phonics works very well for older students, even grown adults who need remediation. NOW you get the benefit of Full money-back guarantee and 24/7 Helpline. Is there a negative about Alpha-Phonics? Yes. In the past 30 years we have heard only one criticism (Only a few times). It is: Some Moms say they think their child can become bored when taught by Alpha-Phonics. Why? Parents have been convinced that learning has to be fun. They believe games, card decks, cartoons/pictures, spin the needle tricks, etc. make it fun. They feel they have to entertain kids while teaching. But, this slows down the process. With Alpha-Phonics the student can actually be READING simple sentences even day ONE! Students do see lists of words in Alpha-Phonics lessons, but they quickly are READING those words; they are accomplishing, not being entertained. The Bells and Whistles in other programs slow the process and cost time and money $$. The huge sense of success in actually reading soon overcomes any short-lived boredom. We almost forgot the SUPER BONUS: Many ADULTS become BETTER readers while teaching their child! For further details on how the FREE CD ROM teaches search Amazon ISBN: 9780941995184.
