Modern Curriculum Press Phonics Level A: Teacher Resource Guide

MCP Phonics is an excellent series of phonics books. The books are full-color and highly interesting to children, incorporating a wide variety of exercises to keep learning fresh. The sounds are presented in a logical sequence, each year building on the previous. I love these manuals; they have good scope and sequences to help with planning, pre- and post-tests for each unit to help you check for student understanding, and lots of teaching ideas to help students learn different concepts in a fun way.

This is a great phonics for first graders. Its primary focus is phonics, but it also incorporates context clues and high-frequency words to make it more of a total reading program. The teacher's manual has good suggestions for presenting new concepts as well as extension activities. We use many of the extended writing activities. The workbook is very colorful and engaging. It is just right...inviting and interesting without using puppets, games, songs, etc. which can be a distraction for some children. Overall I think that it is a great program for homeschool or supplement for regular school.

This book at the Second grade level is everything it said it was. The easy tear out pages, colorful illustrations and simple directions make the students want to do it. The sturdy abc and word cards found in the back of the book with its own envelope is an added bonus!

Perfect for our students

Very good review of phonics
