"Plaid" Phonics: Grade 2
"The variety of activities and colorful presentation make these workbooks appealing to children, and large print reduces the intimidation factor." - Cathy Duffy, author of Top 100 Picks for Homeschooling Curriculum
55 MILLION READERS
Teaching your child to read can seem challenging, but fortunately, you have years of knowledge on your side in the form of Phonics instruction. Phonics is a method of teaching reading that combines sound and symbol recognition. By pairing a group of letters with the sounds they make, your child will start to understand how to read the English language. "Plaid" Phonics is a homeschool program that helps you teach your child to read. Originally known as Modern Curriculum Press (MCP) "Plaid" Phonics and now published by Savvas, the "Plaid" Phonics K-6 program will help you teach your child the building blocks of language and literacy. "Plaid" Phonics has a long history of success. For more than 50 years, the program has helped more than 55 million children learn to read.
