Saxon Phonics K begins by working with auditory discrimination skills to see if the children are aware of the different sounds of the English language and are ready to learn to read. When they are ready, the teacher begins by teaching the name, sound, and written form of each letter. In order to provide plenty of time for practice, one week is devoted to each letter. When a new letter is taught, students review all previously taught letters, as they do every day, to make sure they have enough exposure to master each letter. After learning three letters, the children begin to blend letters to create words and unblend words to spell. Children are never asked to read or write with sounds they have not been taught. © 1996 (140 lessons).
