Quick Start Guide Read the book WITH your child. You read the “regular” text, and he/she reads the big, red words, sort of like reading the different parts in a play.

Help your child sound out the words as needed.

c-a-t cat

Read the book several times. This helps develop the eye muscles and left-to-right reading patterns that are necessary for reading. Don’t rush it. Body builders don’t train in a day, neither does a child.

If your child is having difficulty, he/she might need more practice with the alphabet. Get a fun book about the alphabet and read that lots of times. Then come back to Progressive Phonics.

And most important of all, HAVE FUN! Book Seven - page i

Repetition is important! That’s why each “poem” is included twice...

Once to focus on the word(s) being learned

The second time to practice the word(s) along with other words learned so far in Progressive Phonics.

If your child wants to– and is able to– read the “black” words, go ahead and let him/her

But don’t force your child to read the “black”words – these words are coming up soon in the next few Progressive Phonics books! Book Seven - page ii

One more thing... To relieve the “boredom” of reading each “poem” twice, each “second” picture has THREE changes from the original. Let your child have fun locating each of the changes.
