Study Guides

A complete phonics program for the first year of school.

Nelson Phonics addresses the four essential skills children need in order to read and spell: phonological awareness, letter?sound (phonics) relationships, visual (graphological) processing and spelling.
Nelson Phonics helps students develop an explicit understanding of the relationships between the 26 letters of the alphabet and the individual sounds that make up the English language.

FOR BEGINNING READERS AND SPELLERS
Workbook 1 introduces beginner readers to early phonological awareness skills and early phonics instruction.

Workbook 1 targets:
? syllable awareness ? developing students' awareness of the syllabic structure of words
? onset-rime awareness ? developing students' awareness of the intra-syllabic level of words and allows students to work with rhyme
? letters and sounds of the alphabet ? encompassing traditional phonics teaching of the letters ?a? to ?z? and the sounds they make. Letters are introduced in a sequence familiar to many teachers
? digraphs ?ch?, ?th?, ?sh? ? the high frequency single sounds that are represented by two letter graphemes.
