We use the Read at Three reading program as developed and written by Julie Orme of Wee Friends Preschool in Logan. We spend the first 6 weeks reading "The Mystery Book" as a class which teaches 39 basic sounds.
Each picture represents a sound.
Once we have completed the Mystery Book we begin individually blending the sounds into letters and words. We start by matching all of the letters in the alphabet using the pictures.
Once they have completed the uppercase and lowercase letters they move on and begin blending words and reading.
First, we review each letter with the picture, and then again without the picture.
