Sing, Spell, Read & Write

Sing, Spell, Read & Write is a phonics-based program that uses a 36-step program of carefully sequenced steps to teach reading, writing, and spelling. Delivering explicit phonics instruction via a multisensory approach, Sing, Spell, Read & Write reaches every avenue to the brain and addresses every student's learning style. For more than two decades, veteran educator Sue Dickson developed and field-tested this program in her own classroom. Where other reading programs were failing the students who were struggling the most, Mrs. Dickson saw first-hand the amazing results her students achieved when she combined music with multimodal teaching strategies. Using look, listen, point, sing-along, and echo routines along with gross motor and fine motor activities, the program activitely engages the senses and effectively reaches all types of learners. Virtually every child is assured of success. Today, the program has a proven, nationwide track record and the soundness of such an approach is strongly supported by current research on brain function, language acquisition, and reading.

Horizons Kindergarten Phonics and Reading is a phonetically based word recognition and early reading program curriculum that serves as an alternative to the Lifepac curriculum. Students learn to identify the name and sounds of each letter through picture association with a sequential alphabet story. Horizons Kindergarten Phonics and Reading's creative and colorful approach makes learning language fun for the kindergarten student. Basic language concepts are taught through brightly illustrated readers that emphasize comprehension and language skills. Subjects include: the alphabet and letter sounds, consonants and vowels, blended sounds, reading, spelling, rhyming, sequence, nouns, verbs, pronouns and contractions. Constant review of previous concepts helps students achieve mastery learning. The Student book includes activity worksheets that correlate with the lessons in the Teacher's Guide. Book Three covers beginning blends, double vowels, consonant blends, plurals, digraphs, diphthongs, and more.

Sing, Spell, Read & Write uses carefully sequenced, systematic, explicit phonics instruction to build fluent independent readers. It is effective because it engages students in playing games; singing songs; and look, listen, point, sing-along, and echo routines that stimulate the senses and appeal to all learning styles. Its approach requires total participation on the part of the learner and is strongly supported by current research on brain function, language acquisition, and reading.
