A tried-and-true phonics program to help children achieve a solid foundation in literacy As a language arts educator, Lacresha V. McCollough spent years honing her phonics and reading instruction skills, and after witnessing a decline in reading comprehension post the COVID-19 pandemic, she realized the need to improve youth literacy was more vital than ever. And with that goal in mind, the 4it Phonics to Reading program was born. In 4it Phonics A-Z Workbook, early learners can become great readers by engaging in the practice of the 4 its: hear it, see it, say it, and write it. Using the science of reading and evidence-based best teaching practices, this workbook offers a systematic and explicit approach for expanding literacy in early and developing readers by introducing three letters a week. Rather than teaching the alphabet in chronological order, McCollough teaches through application, allowing learners to use their knowledge of acquired sound-spellings to create and read words. By connecting targeted sound-spelling with text, the 4it approach helps reinforce letter sounds and recognition. Centered on the alphabetic principle, the workbook features: English Language Arts curriculum-based activities Over 70 phonemic awareness activities Over 70 phonological awareness activities that progress from simple to complexshort stories to accompany each letter of the alphabet to reinforce the lessonEngaging activities to teach and expand foundational skills and standards for readingOver 300 skill building pages that provide practice with letter-recognition, phonics, segmenting and blending sounds, spelling, reading, high-frequency words, handwriting, and comprehension Designed to be used in classrooms or at home, McCollough's tried-and-true 4it method will have early learners on the path to becoming strong readers. This unique workbook makes for an ideal companion guide for early childhood educators, administration, homeschool teachers, literacy coordinators, and parents.
