Since 1983 Alpha-Phonics has been used mostly by homeschoolers. Now with the 2025 “PLUS” edition, we are expanding our reach. We hope to become an influential part of the present-day battle against functional illiteracy – leading the charge in bringing back systematic, intensive phonics, and helping our people read again.

This edition can not only be used for individual one-on-one instruction but by the teacher in the class room in conjunction with the Student’s Copy, which is designed especially for the student.

Here's the key: English is an alphabetic reading system (as opposed to using pictographs). Alpha-Phonics uses a systematic phonics approach. A teacher's manual in the back of the book explains how to introduce the letter sounds systematically as you blend those sounds to form words.

With carefully drafted exercises and lessons, readers will develop strong reading skills to tackle words and sentences easily. Alpha-Phonics plays a fundamental role in language development with its effective teaching methods and introduces more than 3,500 words in its simple 128 lessons. It offers tried and tested solutions for learners learning to read or trying to improve their spelling abilities.

It also works very well for adults and students who need remediation. It is highly endorsed by leading homeschooling product reviewers such as Cathy Duffy and Mary Pride.

Simplicity: The foundation of Alpha-Phonics lies in simplifying lessons, as the beginner can start reading simple sentences by lesson three. Sometimes, it can happen as early as the first day.

Other programs often complicate matters by injecting grammar, pictures, and other material that can make it hard for a learner to grasp the true essence of the lessons. With Alpha-Phonics, you teach only reading and spelling lessons comes as a great welcome extra.

You need look no further—Alpha-Phonics provides you everything you need to teach your child to read!
