Alpha-Phonics is a book that teaches children to read in a series of lessons that increase in difficulty. What makes this different from many other reading programs is that it is just reading, no bells and whistles or fancy color pictures, just combining sounds to form words. The beauty of Alpha-Phonics, is there is very little to distract a wiggly 5 year old.
The child learns that reading is simply putting sounds together to make words. Since each lesson is short this book is appropriate for young children who don't have the attention span to sit for too long.
In the age of Hooked on Phonics and other reading programs costing hundreds of dollars, Alpha-Phonics is a breath of fresh air and hearkens back to a simpler time where reading was more about letters and sounds and less about frills and games. I am using Alpha-Phonics right now with my son who is 4 - it's a great way to introduce the basics of reading in a way that is clear an not frustrating and confusing.
