Kindergarten 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.
