For your convenience we individually sell
the Volume 1 CDs that are part of our Combos and Ensembles.
However, to get the most out of Sing
Your Way Through Phonics CDs, students must have the
critical visual link to the printed word. That's why we
provide our integrated packages of single level
Combos
and multi-level Ensembles. If you only purchase a Volume 1 CD you'll need to create your own visuals to use with the CD, based on the bolded text found in the CD's insert. Please note that this CD comes in either teacher voice
or children's voices.
Sing
Your Way Through Phonics Volume 1 CD (teacher's voice)introduces rudimentary phonics concepts
needed for early reading and writing independence. Teaching Suggestions booklet
(included free with CD) provides useful techniques for introducing, practicing,
and reinforcing letter recognition, letter/sound correspondence, and the most
basic phonics rules. Scope and sequence of Volume 1 are as follows:

To link singing with reading you can
make flash cards of the target words in each song or use our coordinated
Mini-Charts.
