Q: How do Alphabet Island characters make rules easy to remember? A: Few people can explain the two sounds of 'c'. With Alphabet Island you learn it the first time around and remember it for life. Vowels are divided into two groups - 'boys' ('a', 'o' and 'u') , and 'girls' ('e', 'i' and 'y'). Clever 'C' says /s/, "city", when in front of the "girls" ('e', 'i', 'y') and /k/, "cat", elsewhere. That makes the workbook page easy - color the boy vowels blue, the girls pink and write in the sound 'C' makes.

Q: How is spelling taught in Alphabet Island Phonics? A: Rules, often in the form of songs, give a concise and logical understanding of when and where to use a particular spelling for any given sound. This four-line poem covers all the options for the spelling of a long 'i'. What makes a long 'i'? Example: To make a long 'i', use 'i' with silent 'e', But at ends of words, a 'y' will usually be. And then 'i' is long, with 'igh' or 'ind', And again with 'ign' or 'ild'. mine sky high/find sign/child Q: What is the procedure for teaching a new rule? A: The rule is the "road map". Each aspect of the rule is studied in great detail, making sure the child can understand, hear and work with the rule.
