Alpha-Phonics and How to Tutor Phonics Companion Workbook First Edition

I was SO excited to get this companion workbook that accompanies the main manual. I was so disappointed once I opened it up. I was expecting to see a professional grade workbook: black words on white CLEAN pages. Anything but. The words are blurred, the pages are not centered, the paper is at best gray scale on most pages. Whoever put this workbook together did not care what the pages looked like. I get the feeling these workbooks were mass produced, and the person who copied the pages did not care what the end result looked like. There are images that got copied onto the background of some pages...pages that are supposed to contain only the material (words, sentences) that are being covered. I am SO disappointed. Most of the pages in this workbook are poor photo copies of an original document. And the copies are not even centered or upright. I opened the workbook, expecting to see better quality than this. The exercises themselves presented are great, but the hard copy pages are a very poor quality. On one page, the words my 6-year are supposed to be able to read, are so blurred, even I have a hard time reading them.Whoever produces these workbooks, PLEASE look at the quality of product you are sending to your buyers. I wanted to get this workbook. I bought the main text for this program. Yet, because the quality of the workbook is SO poor, I will look elsewhere for supporting material for phonics.Sincerely,A very disappointed customer

This workbook follows along with the Alpha-Phonics book/CD and provides great hands on for practicing writing, grammar, syllabication and spelling. It even has a brightly colored page (for easy finding) that provides spelling rules.My reason for knocking off a star is because it is not completely reusable (as stated in the description). You can either photocopy each page or laminate them, as I choose to.

I found these lessons were too advanced for my kinder who I was homeschooling using Alpha Phonics. I am sure all kids are different. I found I was able to start using it about 1/2 way through the year

I bought this for my seventh and eighth children in kindle and it is great! They love using the kindle version over the hardback and I love that I have it on my kindle, computer, iPad, and phone. Alpha-Phonics is a solid curriculum. I have used it with my other six children in the hardback version. It really reinforces concepts so the kids become solid readers.

Not very good quality photocopy.

This was a nice copy. Pages are clear and easy to read.

We are currently teaching our fifth son to read using Alpha-phonics. We used Alpha-phonics to teach each of his older brothers as well. We can't say enough good about this book! It is easy to use and inexpensive. It introduces easy sentences right away, which is a great motivator. We have found that it works best for us to use Alpha-phonics alone at first, and then later add some phonics flash cards. (We use Romalda Spaldings phonogram cards.) This combination is all we have ever needed. We've been homeschooling now for 9 years, and with most subjects we find that one child loves one curriculum, and the next child hates it and needs something else for his different learning style. Alpha-phonics is the only book that everyone has loved! I highly recommend it.
