Saxon Phonics offers proven results in these 1st grade homeschool lessons and teacher books.
Saxon Phonics 1 Teaching Tools consist of a variety of teaching tools (pictured above) to help you implement the program. These items include review decks, kid cards, a rule book, an audiotape, and a video instructional guide. The Teaching Tools may be purchased as part of the complete Home Study Kit or purchased separately.
Phonics 1 begins by teaching a new letter or letters every day, then reviewing those letters for as long as necessary. First-graders learn two letters, then begin blending words together to read, and unblending words to spell. As the children progress, they are given small take-home books (readers) that contain words with sounds they can blend. Comprehension tests are provided to monitor progress. Games and activities are provided to motivate the children having the least success. Each day the children review all previous learning and have a homework page for continued reinforcement. Spelling rules are taught so the children learn to spell by using knowledge instead of memorization only. Common suffixes and a few prefixes are taught. 140 lessons. © 1996. |
