How do I return the Program? Name Email Question Q: How does Frontline Phonics differ from other phonics programs? A: Traditional phonics methodology will have a child learn just about all of the letters, corresponding sounds, and many rules before it will have the child blending and learning to read.
And more recently, phonics has been branded as a program just for older children who are struggling with reading.
Frontline Phonics is a program for children who are learning to read for the first time, it is guaranteed to give them a head start to reading.
Unlike traditional methodology, Frontline Phonics introduces reading and books after your child has learned eight of the most important letters along with a few simple rules.
Doing this gives your child success with reading in about 3 ½ weeks.
If you would like to research the difference between Frontline Phonics and Hooked on Phonics ™ or The Phonics Game ™ we encourage you to visit their respective websites at www.hop.com and www.Games2Learn.com Learn more about the program Q: What is an appropriate age for my child to begin Frontline Phonics? A: We recommend that Frontline Phonics be used with any child 3 to 7 years old.
If you have a child that is younger than three, use your best judgment to decide when is the right time to teach your child to read.
Some good signs that a child is ready to learn to read are that he or she can communicate readily with you, and he or she shows an interest in books and even tries to read them.
Learn more about the program Q: How long is each lesson? A: Each Reading Instruction is designed to last between 15 to 20 minutes.
We recommend you teach a lesson every other day.
Learn more about the program Q: How long does it take to finish the entire Frontline Phonics reading program? A: One of the great aspects of Frontline Phonics is that you get to decide the teaching pace of each reading lesson plan that works best for your child.
A typical child will finish all of the lessons in about five months and will finish all of the 43 books in about 6-7 months.
Learn more about the program Q:What's the next step after we finish the complete Frontline Phonics program? A: Practice makes perfect.
So the best thing to do after your child has a solid foundation in reading is to simply continue reading with your child.
After Frontline Phonics you will never need to purchase another reading program, just continue on with your child's preschool education.
Learn more about the program Q: What's the difference between phonics and the whole language approach? A: The topic of phonics vs.
whole language has actually been labeled the "Reading Wars," and there are volumes written about it.
Briefly, phonics teaches children the different phonemes (sounds) in the English language and the rules of how to blend (connect) these sounds together.
The whole language approach focuses on having children reading books right away by giving them books where the words in the books are easily guessed by associating them with pictures on the page.
Then, through memorization and association, children learn to read.
Currently national studies suggest that no home school curriculum or preschool lesson plan is complete with out phonics.

Learn more about the program Q: Who developed Frontline Phonics? A: Frontline Phonics was developed and fine-tuned in a preschool with trained teachers and a variety of children over a 17-year period.

Basically anyone can teach this program.
The instructional video will help you get started on the right foot.
All the lessons are mapped out for you in a step-by-step approach.
In addition, you may also call us and ask to speak to a reading coach, who can help you answer your questions about the reading program. Q: What do I do if my child wants to do more than three lessons a week? A: From our studies we have found that three lessons a week is a good pace for most children because they get time to practice what they have learned on the "off days." But as a parent, you know your child best, so use your best judgment.
Learn more about the program Q: Can this program teach an adult to read? A: Because Frontline Phonics was developed in a preschool with small children, everything in the program is targeted to be at the level of a small child.
It is not suited to teach adults how to read, although many adults have commented that they have strengthened their reading skills by teaching the program to a child.
Learn more about the program Q: What do I do if I have a child older than eight that still needs help with reading? A: One solution that has worked for many families is to have the older child who is struggling help teach phonics to a child who is just starting to read.
This way the child who is struggling can improve his/her reading in a non-confrontational way.
It makes the struggling child the hero and is a positive experience for all.

A: From our personal experience in a private preschool, we have had success teaching children with ADD, ADHD, autism, Down syndrome, and dyslexia, among other learning disabilities.
We have done no official studies that prove that this program will work with these learning disabilities.
Every disability varies in its severity and each child varies in maturity and cognitive/motor ability.
We encourage parents to be extra patient and supportive while teaching this program to a child with any disability.
Learn more about the program Q: Will my child be bored if he/she already knows how to read by the time school starts? A: From our experience, more teachers know how to challenge a student than know how to help a struggling student.
