Synopsis

Teach your child to read, one sound at a time.

First Waypoint is a 90-lesson phonics workbook that takes beginning readers from their first short-vowel words, like cat and map, to reading short stories on their own. Every lesson is ready to teach: you read the directions aloud, and your child reads only words built from sounds already taught.

What's inside

  • 90 two-page lessons: a teaching page and a facing practice page
  • Short vowels, consonant blends, sh, ch, th, wh, ck, double letters, and plural s
  • Sound boxes that link each sound to its spelling
  • Reading sentences and short stories, with a question after every text
  • Dictation, copying, and sentence writing on wide handwriting lines
  • Regular checkpoints, a progress chart, and a certificate
  • A day-by-day parent key with box spellings and answers

How it's built

Every word your child reads was checked against what has been taught by that day. There are no pictures to guess from and no words your child hasn't been given the tools to sound out. A few tricky words, like the and is, are taught on purpose before they appear.

Who it's for

For parents, homeschoolers, tutors, and teachers working with children ages 4 to 7 who know most letter sounds and are ready to blend words. A short readiness check comes before Day 1, and lessons can be repeated as often as needed.

210 pages. 8.5 x 11 inches. Book 1 of The Phonics Builder System. When your reader finishes, Second Waypoint, Book 2, continues with ng and nk, tch and dge, the endings -ing and -ed, silent e, and longer stories.
