Ten storybooks produced in large print,
grade 1 (uncontracted), and grade 2 braille.

Ages 4-7

Teaching phonics to blind children is difficult because most phonics workbooks use pictures to introduce vowels and consonants. Primary Phonics is a series of 10 short stories that introduces consonants, various sight words, and short vowels- a e i o u -- as part of the reading experience. As well, children can enjoy the satisfaction that comes from reading a short story independently. Published by Educators Publishing Service, these books have provided the first reading experience for millions of students.

The text on each page is reproduced in three media: large print, uncontracted braille, and contracted braille. For students with low vision there are also illustrations. Each of the ten books is approximately 16 pages long, with 1-4 short sentences on every page. Each storybook contains a list of phonetic elements on the inside back cover, providing a quick reference for the consonant sounds, consonant blends, vowel sounds, and new patterns covered in each book.

This first set of 10 booklets introduces consonants and short vowels. It is meant to supplement students' reading lessons - they can be integrated into a lesson plan or used independently by students.

In large print uncontracted & contracted braille all on the same page.

Our new Primary Phonics: Set 2 covers more advanced phonic sounds.
Order both sets for $40 and save a few bucks.
