Phonics - Macmillan/McGraw-Hill
Publishers
Making the letter/sound
connection. Each of the
twenty-six, sixteen page books
introduces the sound of a letter
through handwriting, auditory
training, and oral language.
Each book is supplemented with
numerous games, excercises and
art projects that relate to the
reading skills and letter being
emphasized. The phonics
series is structured so that all
previously taught letters are
reviewed and built into each
succeeding Letterbook.
Once the sixth book is

blend sounds together to
literally begin the "reading"
process.
