1. What makes Super Simple Phonics different from other phonics programs?

Super Simple Phonics is a fun, no pressure introduction to the English alphabet and phonics for very young learners.
It features songs by the creators of the award-winning Super Simple Songs series. Like Super Simple Songs, Super
Simple Phonics was designed by teachers to be easy and fun for students, teachers, and parents to use.

2. What age is Super Simple Phonics meant for?

Super Simple Phonics was specially developed to give a headstart in language learning to children from pre-school and up.
It is simple enough for a three year old beginning English learner, but fun and appealing to "older" beginners as well.

3. I heard its best to start teaching lower case letters. Why do you start with upper
case letters?

The smaller curves and similarities between the letters in the lower-case alphabet (b, d, p, q) present some pretty tough
motor-skill and letter discrimination challenges for young learners. Difficulty distinguishing and printing the letters can be
demoralizing for a young learner, and self-confidence plays a huge role in developing literacy skills. Super Simple Phonics
Book A introduces young learners to the Alphabet with large, easily distinguishable capital letters. The big bubble letters
are perfect for tracing with fingers, crayons, or pencils and give children confidence that they can recognize and write the
letters of the Alphabet.

4. Is Super Simple Phonics a course book? Supplementary material?

Super Simple Phonics can be used as a main course book or as supplementary material.

Together with the activities, flashcards, games, extra worksheets, posters, and, extra songs provided in the Super Simple
Phonics Support Pack,
Super Simple Phonics is an ideal main course book for young learners. Combining
the mini lesson, writing practice, phonics song, and support pack activities together with some of your favorite classroom
songs and activities, makes for great 40-60 minute lessons.

The simplicity of Super Simple Phonics also makes it a great addition to a children's English course as a supplementary
material. The mini lesson, writing practice, and song can all be covered in 10-15 minutes if desired, leaving plenty
of time for the rest of the lesson. Or, writing practice can be done at home, leaving more time in class for songs and
consolidation activities.

5. Can I copy the book pages for my class?

No. Super Simple Phonics is protected by copyright and copying is illegal. A lot of effort has been put into developing
Super Simple Phonics and your help in spreading the word and not the files will allow us to make more quality
learning materials in the future! It's also great for students to have their own copy of the book as it allows them to
see their progress and feel a sense of pride and accomplishment as they progress through the book!

However, the Super Simple Phonics Support Pack does include over 60 photocopiable worksheets, along with many
other support materials.
