Be Activity Ready!

If your child is just beginning school, a phonics-based activity will serve as an excellent warm-up before lessons begin. Just phonics activity books adhere to the Letter and Sound Sequence and give a spiral, multisensory approach to phonics instruction. As they attempt to complete the exercises, children learn letter-sound correlations and spelling. The addition of colouring pages to the mix of vocabulary, newer terms, and sentence construction makes it an ideal blend of education and entertainment.
