By actively involving the child in hearing, saying, seeing, and writing the letters and sounds, this workbook develops a child's skill in recognizing consonant sounds as well as the most important short and long vowels through a series of 70 lessons. It is appropriate for parents to use with advanced first grade children. By using this learning technique, the workbook quickly focuses the child's attention and reinforces basic skills. This approach also encourages the child to create and to write from the very first lesson. (RS)
