$99.00
By Julia Fogassy. Program includes: Teacher Manual, Composition Notebook, Phonogram Cards, Bible Story Reader, Worksheets, CD, and Pencil w/gripper, plus Handwriting Tablet. This is a program that makes teaching reading, writing, spelling and phonics easy. Based on "The Writing Road to Reading," Sound Beginnings offers step-by-step teaching dialogue and well organized daily lesson plans.

As designed, these four years are first, second, third and fourth grades.

NOTE: The first half of this notebook contains story-paper with lines for writing at the bottom and room for drawing at the top. In the second half of the book, each page has lines from top to bottom. The composition notebook is to be used during the last eighteen weeks of the Sound Beginnings Program.

Early Reader.jpg Early Reader's Bible
$18.99
By Gilbert Beers. Recommended as part of the Sound Beginnings Program, this is a very good beginning reader. Over 500 pages and sixty-four Bible stories from Old and New Testaments, all written within a standard first grade vocabulary. None of the lessons are keyed to any story in the reader, so the program may be used effectively with any other reading material. This is a Protestant publication, so there are a couple small problems (for details, see the Introduction to Sound Begininngs in the articles section of this web site), but the "Catholic" version has the identical problems.
