Horizons Phonics and Reading Kindergarten Horizons Kindergarten Phonics & Reading teaches your child to read in small, daily steps across a full kindergarten year. By the end of th e program, your child is sounding out words and working through sight words. It's a faith-based, parent-led phonics curriculum built for homeschoolers teaching beginning reading from the ground up. The 160 lessons cover consonant sounds, blends, syllables, digraphs, diphthongs, and non-phonetic sight words. The four teacher's guides give you daily plans, teaching tips, answer keys, and reproducible pages, so prep stays minimal. A wipe-off tablet handles extra phonics practice without printing, and the alphabet floor puzzle gives kids who learn best on the move a way to practice letters off the chair. The workbook pages are colorful and full of activity. For many kindergartners, that energy on the page is exactly what keeps them engaged. For children who are easily overwhelmed by visual stimulation, it's worth taking a look at sample pages before committing. The payoff comes in the illustrated phonics readers—one per workbook, 40 short stories each. Early in the year, you read the stories aloud and pause so your child can sound out new words. The readers also include occasional comprehension questions, so reading becomes more than just sounding out words on a page. What makes Horizons work for kindergartners is the spiral approach. Earlier skills keep coming back into later lessons rather than getting taught once and dropped. For children who need frequent reinforcement before a skill truly sticks, that built-in review is the heart of the program. Show more
