Intensive Phonics Software
and Instructor Materials

Proven Interactive CD-ROM

The computer reading courseware is designed for independent learning that allows (up to five) children ages 4-9 to go at their own pace and to be taught in their individual learning style. The phonics software is an implementation of the Discover Intensive Phonics for Yourself methodology, consisting of 75 Discover Intensive Phonics lessons, 28 illustrated stories for reading practice, and Fun With Phonics games that reinforce each lesson. The lessons start by teaching basic names and sounds of consonants and vowels and build to reading more advanced multi-syllable words. Progress reports are available for parents to read and print. Reference Materials with software purchase include: Installation and Operating manual, set of 4 Little Books, and online workshop (a $125.00 value). This amazing offer allows you to have the program that is used successfully in schools across the nation in your home for a fraction of the cost!

616 Reverse Listening Cards

The name "Reverse Listening Cards" indicates a reversal from dictation to reading. These cards provide a test of a student's ability to read and decode at incremental levels. The cards also provide guided reading and writing activities, help develop independent work and provide word banks for dictation.

Two Flip Charts

13 wall posters (42 sounds, blends, 5 Phonetics Skills, key vowels and 9 Most Common Words).

Set of Little Books

The 4 Little Books are designed to correlate with the Discover Intensive Phonics lessons. Each story only uses the words and skills that have been previously taught in the corresponding lessons. As an additional feature, the Little Books are simply illustrated in black and white to ensure students are focusing on the words and using the decoding strategies rather than the pictures to guess words and content. The set of 4 Little Books is color-coordinated with the section skills in the Teacher's Manual, and with the software, which makes them easy to use with the corresponding lesson to enhance learning. (Included FREE when you purchase the Discover Intensive Phonics at Home Software or the Home School Intensive Phonics Kit.)

Online Workshop Access

Access to step-by-step phonics training that reinforces the skills taught on the software and in the direct instruction materials so that you can feel confident with the method. You are able to access it 24/7 providing flexibility with any busy schedule. This workshop is FREE when you purchase the Discover Intensive Phonics at Home Software or the Reading Horizons at Home Software! ($99.00 value).
