Why was the alpha-read Learning Kit developed?

The alpha-read Learning Kit is the result of more than twenty years of experience. This unique learning kit insures that the student's initial introduction to the alphabet is meaningful and immediately useful. Students are commonly taught to recite the names of the letters from A to Z. This training is important but it does not convey the purpose of the alphabet. A student needs to know that letters have sounds which combine to form words. Reading, writing and spelling skills all flow naturally and securely from this vital information.

How does the alpha-read Learning Kit work?

The alpha-read Learning Kit consists of colorful, attractive letter cards, each with a picture of a key object to remind the student of the most useful sound for that letter. At first, the student is taught just two or three sounds and encouraged to combine these sounds into words. Thereafter, additional individual sounds are introduced and integrated into the word building process. The procedure is gamelike, making this encounter with the alphabet fun as well as practical. The discovery that the ABCs are tools which can be put to work building words is an exhilarating experience which contributes to the growth of confidence, independence and motivation to eagerly confront the written word.
