Phonics Road ?

[sbgrace]

Phonics Road users do you think there would be a problem or confusion if I teach my kids all the phonograms and they are reading before we are able start Phonics Road 1?

My DS does all of the above and we just began Phonics Road and it hasn't been a problem at all. In fact it probably makes it a little easier on him. In fact, IMHO, I think it would help to at least know the basic phonograms before starting the program.

I have two doing Phonics Road 1 who can read very well. They are going faster than the pace suggested by the program but I know they will eventually slow down (probably when we hit PR 2).

 

I also have a K'er this upcoming school year with whom I am purposefully not going to use PR1. We're going to do MFW K with some modifications so that he learns all the letter sounds used in PR1. I'm hoping that he'll at least be reading three letter words and blending proficiently before we begin PR1 next year (or at the very end of this year).

Thank you both! That is reassuring!

:iagree:

 

I am teaching my DS the phonograms and cursive writing and blending games from Phonics Pathways as well as a few other "readiness" activities. I'm thinking we'll be starting PR 1 formally by spring of next year. We'll see how it goes!!
