a. Read in Pictures: Curriculum BOTH Funny Phonograms AND Laughing Letters

Start with your a-b-c's in Laughing Letters and continue in Funny Phonograms, into early 3rd grade for a thorough taste of all necessary phonics. You will get the full package in Laughing Letters and Funny Phonograms.

Break-through foundational literacy barriers! Students who cannot remember how to read or spell their phonics finally learn. We shape the image of each letter and phonogram into the shapes of those letters. Students learn to read in pictures. It comes to them almost naturally!

This ground-breaking work will give your new learners or struggling students the multi-sensory tools they need to win their battles. The students will hear, say, trace, and see the letters all at the same time. We short-cut the learning curve because we engage all the senses (kinesthetic, auditory, oral, visual, and tactile) to create strong neural connections to build better retention.

Our methods align with most of the principles of the Orton-Gillingham approach (Structured Literacy).

DISTANCE option: The Power Points are posted on Google Classroom and also in the package.

FUNNY PHONOGRAMS
This brand-new packet is offered at an unbelievable value. Customize the PPTs for each class, lesson, or student. Each of the 125 phonograms is introduced with a series of slides, a flashcard, and a reading and spelling page for maximum success.

LAUGHING LETTERS

Learn your letters in such a fun, fast way, you will laugh your way through them! We created pictures of each letter, both upper- and lowercase to give your students the extra memory hook they need.

Our slide shows and pages give students the multi-sensory experience of hearing, writing, saying, and seeing the letters and their sounds all at the same time. Use our self-checking flashcards for independent work. Students love to "read in pictures" and then translate into regular font.

Our directional letters help them form their letters easily and correctly. Excellent for students with dyslexia and dysgraphia.

The workbook includes these pages:

Lower- and uppercase pages that follow the PowerPoints;

Lowercase letter pages that build from the letter to the word to more words and a sentence. Spelling pages that reverse the process.

Pages with upper- and lowercase letters together to learn to read and spell small words. Kids' Zone pages that are coloring pages with just the image and lowercase letters.
