  • Phonics Too uses the Expanded Teaching Alphabet (ETA) in order to easily relate the 51 general American speech sounds to the 26 letters of  our alphabet.
  • The 51 sounds which children already know orally are  embedded in 40 lesson words, which in turn are used in 74 fully voiced and illustrated  interactive  stories and poems. 
  • Phonics Too includes  37  lessons on 225 computer slides or pages.
  • Phonics Too builds on the oral sounds and words that children already know making sound/letter correspondence clear to them.
  • Phonics Too works especially well with beginning readers (ages 4-6) and readers needing their decoding and encoding skills reinforced (ages 6-8).
  • Phonics Too is individually paced and allows all children  to progress at their own rate.
  • Phonics Too uses multiple approaches to teaching reading: phonics, experience-language, and sight work.
  • Phonics Too reinforces the school's adopted reading program.
