E N D
Highlights of Curriculum: Music-Enhanced Curriculum Music is the most important part of this curriculum. There is a special Alphabet Song that teaches all the letter names and sounds. Also a separate song for every letter -- two for vowels -- plus songs for other key phonics rules. Call me at 888-664-5343 to review the music.
Highlights of Curriculum: Music-Enhanced Curriculum • “The more they listen to the music, the more they like it. I was afraid they would get tired of it.” -- Kari Arlint, kindergarten teacher, Kelso, Wash. • “I love the program. The kids really get into it. At first I thought, ‘The boys aren’t going to get into this.’ But they really do enjoy it.” -- Teresa Wilkins, kindergarten teacher, Nampa, Idaho
Highlights of Curriculum: Most Children Start Reading in Month 1 Children know letter names and sounds about as quickly as they can learn the Alphabet Song. Many children start reading simplest books in Frontline curriculum during Month 1,after they have mastered just 5 letters!
Highlights of Curriculum: Children Learn Letter Names & Sounds Quickly • “Most of thechildren knew all the letters and sounds by Nov. 5 -- much quicker than ever before.” -- Debbie Clayton, Kennewick, Wash., ESL kindergarten teacher
Highlights of Curriculum: Fast-Paced Approach • “It gets them through so quickly. When I first saw that they had two letters a week, I didn’t think they could do it” but early success with prebooks really gets them going. -- Trish Fairbairn, Selkirk kindergarten teacher
Highlights of Curriculum: Reading Fluency • “I’ve never had this many kindergartners reading at this point of the year [January], so that’s exciting.” Almost every student had already read 10-30 books by mid-year. -- Teresa Wilkins, kindergarten teacher, Nampa, Idaho

Most classes can complete 2 of these 15-minute lessons per week, with key elements -- the letter sounds, the songs, the nursery rhyme-type stories, etc. -- repeated several times over a 2- to 3-day period.

Listen. What does this letter say? ‘aaaa’ What does this letter say? ‘mmmm’ Now listen as I make my mouth motorstay on: ‘aaaaammmmm.’ Let’s do it again! ‘aaaammm’ Now faster! ‘aaamm.’ Listen for the word! ‘am’ Great! Let’s do another word! [‘mmmaaatttt’] Highlights of Curriculum: EarlyReading Success Blending as Quickly as Children Can Handle After Lesson 6
Highlights of Curriculum: Letter Blending • “I’m just really pleased. This program gives them a ton of skills. They don’t have the problem they’ve had in the past with blends. It’s really been amazing this year.” -- Kim Remsberg, Entiat Elementary School
Highlights of Curriculum: Children should Read at own Pace As children learn to blend, you can break them into small groups or work with them individually to allow them to progress through reading books at own pace. Reading books are NOT correlated with the lessons. All children can continue Letter Lessons together as a group.
