WHY PHONICS WORD FAMILIES?
-----------------------------------------------
Kids learn to read early by using Word Families (as known as Analogy Phonics) by finding commonality (i.e. short a sounds or long e sounds) among a set of words - Educators use these word families to teach early readers to see and hear the patterns of these words.

Featuring 73 Word Families and over 630 Vocabulary Words, reinforced through fun interactive games.
