Christ-Centered Phonics Lessons for Cards 1-31: Level B:1

Beginning-to-Read Program

Recommended For:

• Older 4’s (AK4)
• 5-year-olds (K5)
• Beginning 1st—first time being schooled (B1st)

Note: K5 and Beginning 1st grade students have traditionally excelled in this Beginning-to-Read Program. Because older 4’s are generally more mature in their readiness to learn, they are considered an Advanced K4 and thus will normally do better with Kit B rather than A. (Level A is not a prerequisite for starting Level B.)

Skills Covered at Phonics Level B:1:

• Short Vowels
• Long Vowels
• Consonants
• Blends (a single consonant blended with a vowel to form one speech sound)
• Reading One-Syllable Words
• Spelling Short-Vowel Words
• Manuscript Penmanship

Description of Phonics Lessons B:1:

Every lesson was written so that even a novice teacher can be successful. After teaching a lesson, refer to the Phonics Workbook Instructions & Answer Key: Level B:1 (Part 205AK) to help your child complete the Phonics Workbook: Level B:1 (Part 205) pages listed in that lesson’s PACING SCHEDULE.

Teaching Phonics Level B:1:
