Introduction

As parents and teachers we want children to learn and enjoy learning and have successful beginnings, learning reading, experiences. The activities on the pages of my "Workbook for Basic Phonics" will

join in the teaching and the development of skills and self-confidence for successful beginnings.

Author's Background

After the challenges of raising two children and being a school bus driver, I was able to complete the education necessary to become a teacher. I greatly enjoyed the challenges of education and the teaching of K to 4th grades for 30 years. When retiring June 2012, I continued with working towards the completion of this workbook, "Workbook for Basic Phonics".

Motivation and Purpose

I have been motivated to encourage others to realize one's gift of creativity that many of us have that helps us grow and share.

"Workbook for Basic Phonics" can be used as a "giving helps" in partnership with other related teachings. "Workbook for Basic Phonics" introduces the basic reading beginning and leads to the reading of complete sentences. It guides to the reading taught by a teacher-student partnership or student-helping-student partnership and parent helping-student partnership.
