First grade is such a magical year! It’s a time of huge leaps in reading and writing. As parents and educators, we want to make that journey as smooth and enjoyable as possible. One fantastic tool to help kids crack the code of reading is through the use of phonics.
Phonics helps children understand the relationship between letters and sounds, which is a building block for reading fluency. To reinforce these concepts at home or in the classroom, many teachers and parents turn to supplemental materials that make learning fun and interactive.
