The First Steps to Learning English

EZPhonics™ is built upon the 5 crucial skills identified by the U.S. Department of Education that must be gained by all successful readers:

  • Phonemic awareness : the ability to hear, identify, and play with individual sounds - or phonemes - in spoken words
  • Phonics: the relationship between the letters of written language and the sounds of spoken language
  • Fluency: the capacity to read text accurately and quickly
  • Vocabulary: the words students must know to communicate effectively
  • Comprehension: the ability to understand and gain meaning from what has been read

Learn Phonics…the EZ Way

Phonetic concepts and lessons are made simple with the sights and sounds of the EZPhonics™ system. All pictures have been hand-selected specifically for use with EZPhonics™, and professional voice recordings allow your students to hear and identify accurate letter, blend, and word pronunciations.

Extensive Features of EZPhonics™

This foundation of literacy is further developed through hundreds of study sections, puzzles and quizzes, and frequent repetition of phonetic concepts, reinforcing the associations between words and pictures, pictures with audio pronunciations, and audio pronunciations with words. This three-way approach to teaching the basics of words, and the words themselves, ensure that, with EZPhonics™, your students will master the first keys of successful readers!

Unparalleled Vocabulary Materials!

The Synonyms and Antonyms sections assist your students in broadening their vocabulary, allowing them to select just the right word for any occasion. The Homonym section helps your students differentiate between those tricky parts of the English language that often confuse with their similarities.

185 Stories and Lessons

All lessons and stories in EZPhonics™ include high-quality recordings by professional voice-actors, to assist your child in his or her reading, making the stories come alive!

Building on Those 5 Skills

Following every reading section, EZPhonics™ presents a series of basic quizzes, to build your students' reading abilities. EZPhonics™ builds your students' vocabulary skills through relevant-word study sections and three different types of vocabulary quizzes—insuring the retention of learned words.
