Show how reading works with phoneme songs and blending.

Through music, sound association, and wonderful illustrations, children learn 29 phonemes. The first set of songs has the 5 short vowels. Each of the subsequent 6 sets introduces 4 more phonemes.

After each set, color-coordinated phoneme picture cards illustrate how sounds are blended together to form words. The 80 cards have phoneme pictures on one side and an illustration of the word on the other. This is an ideal method for teaching phonemic awareness.

Word families are optimal for developing blending skills. The 36 word families form 180 words.

The Phoneme Songs Mini-Set is a more affordable version of this product. This set has phoneme illustrations printed 4 to a page (4.25" x 5.5"). It includes the CD, 36 word families, and 12 word cards with matching pictures.
