Curious George Learns Phonics for Kindergarten-1st Grade
George is up to his usual antics sending circus animals flying through the
air in dashing acrobatics, laughing at the clowns' jokes, playing music and
chasing down letters and their sounds. Six games and activities teach children
to recognize letters, sounds and to sound out words as they build basic
reading skills.
As children learn about letter names, the sounds in language (phonemic
awareness), and letter sound associations (phonics), they learn the basic skills
of reading and writing. Children explore at their own pace and discover the joy
of learning while they play games and activities that teach phonemic awareness
and phonics. There are gentle challenges and fun magical rewards.
Bring a school learning environment into your home. We use the latest
research and reinforce skills developed in the widely-used Invitations to
Literacy Program to help you teach your child to read.
