A complete phonics program for the first three years of school.

Nelson Phonics addresses the four essential skills children need in order to read and spell: phonological awareness, letter–sound (phonics) relationships, visual (graphological) processing and spelling.

Nelson Phonics helps students develop an explicit understanding of the relationships between the 26 letters of the alphabet and the individual sounds that make up the English language.

Approach: Nelson Phonics has a unique approach to teaching sounds and letters as it integrates phonics instruction with phonological awareness.

Explicit and systematic structure: Nelson Phonics introduces letter-sound relationships in a carefully planned sequence.

Multi-sensory learning: Nelson Phonics employs multi-sensory teaching strategies to reach a wider student audience.

• Clap the syllables
• Write the letter
• Say the sound or name the picture
• Trace with your finger
• Listen
• Appropriate vocabulary: Vocabulary has been carefully selected to be age appropriate for early years students.

Easy instructions: Instructions for students are worded to reduce the language comprehension load.

Consistent layout: Consistent page layouts allow students to quickly orient to the requirements of the task.

Developmental sequence: The activities in the three Nelson Phonics workbooks follow the developmental progression of phonological awareness in early years.
