Two kindergarten student workbooks are included featuring larger print and fewer words per page. Topics covered include letter recognition, letter sounds, manuscript writing, and beginning reading.
Sing, Spell, Read & Write is a learning-to-read curriculum that uses a 36-step program of carefully sequenced systematic, explicit phonics instruction to build fluent independent readers. For more than two decades, veteran educator Sue Dickson developed and field-tested this program in her own classroom. Where other reading programs were failing the students who were struggling the most, Mrs. Dickson saw first-hand the amazing results her students achieved when she combined music with multimodal teaching strategies. Using look, listen, point, sing-along, and echo routines along with gross motor and fine motor activities, the program activitely engages the senses and effectively reaches all types of learners. Virtually every child is assured of success.

Things we like about the Combo Kit:
As a homeschooler, this is one of the best phonics program I have seen that works with most children. We have tried and used hooked on phonics and other reading and phonics programs, this is by far one of the best and easy to use by any homeschooling parent.
The first step is learning the alphabet and the corresponding sounds. Musical tools and games are included and this type of learning was easy for my boys. The second step is learning short vowel sounds. Each concept includes readers using words a child has learned or knows at that point. Next they learn long vowels, letter blends (digraphs), silent e, two vowel combinations, and many other reading rules. Once again the readers use words or rules the child has learned and does not skip ahead. For example, silent e stories don’t include ‘ea’ combinations until both concepts have been presented then the story includes both rules. Another example is how ‘ch’ has three different sounds; sh, k and ch. These are not taught at the same time, but the readers introduce these concepts at the appropriate point. It is great to have these concepts as examples in the readers without having to search for them.
Here are some of the things we like about this curriculum kit;
- It is easy to use and easy for young kids to understand
- It incorporates singing in to fun educational learning
- 2 laminated charts included for easy learning, pen and eraser for the chart is also included
- 17 readers books for various fun reading

- This kit is great for ages 4 to 8, meaning you can start teaching from preschool till 2nd grade
- This kit is for 4 years, so if you divide the price in to 4 years, it is quite valuable and priceless
- Also comes with Instructional video and instructor manual
- Much better than “How to teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons” and HOP “Hooked on Phonics” programs, do not waste money on those.
- Recommended by many homeschooler parents and homeschooling experts. One of the best program that incorporate phonics, spelling, reading and writing in to fun song and game learning program.
Things to Consider:
- This program usually sells for $240 to $350, it is bit expensive. However, if you think you can teach your child phonics, reading, spelling and writing from preschool till 3rs grade, it is quite worth it.
- Box comes with over an hour video, so it will help if you actually saw it before teaching. Many people just start teaching without it will not have the same benefits.
- They have same or similar activities for different letters, which could be beneficial to keep same theme but can get repetitive for some kids.
