Alpha-Phonics Works

I heard about Alpha-Phonics at a home school convention in 1991 when I first began seeking out information on home schooling. I have taught all 7 of my children to read using this book with some supplementation of the CD version for the ones that enjoy using the computer.

Over the years I have borrowed or looked into more expensive curricula thinking I was depriving my children by not offering all the bells and whistles of a prettier, fancier, louder method of instruction. Always I returned to this book because it just worked the best - for the wiggly, inattentive children and the more focused.

In 20 years of home schooling, curriculum conventions, reading reviews and home school magazines, I have never found a more practical, down to earth, and effective phonics program. It makes me wonder why I bothered looking! Thank you SO much for continuing to offer this book in its original format.

Through those years I mutilated 3 copies of the book and gave a couple away. I like the look/durability of the newer spiral bound version. Even though I'm well into the book with my last child, it is tempting to get a new copy just to have it to look at.
