Alpha- Phonics Giveaway

Alpha-Phonics Giveaway Hosted by Pea of Sweetness



Co-Hosted by ABC Creative Learning



Sponsored by Alpha-Phonics



Alpha-Phonics


Alpha-Phonics is an effective, step-by-step program that has taught countless children to read, including older struggling readers, dyslexic students, and others. As a stand-alone program or supplement, Alpha-Phonics’ systematic phonetic approach will help students build a logical framework for English reading.


Students begin by learning short vowels and consonants, before moving on to consonant blends that teach final blends first, and then initial blends. Finally, students learn long vowels along with the many forms in which they occur. Moving from simple to complex through practice and drill exercises, students will build competency and skill, increasing self-confidence.


The alphabet is taught visually and orally through having children repeat the letters as the teacher points to them, as well as through the integration of kinesthetic activities. The black-and-white hand-lettered pages are designed to teach children with minimal distraction.



Emilee at Pea of Sweetness has been using Alpha-Phonics in her homeschool curriculum. Read her full Alpha-Phonics review to see what they thought.



About the prize: One lucky Grand Prize winner will receive the Alpha-Phonics textbook and CD-Rom.



About the giveaway: This giveaway begins on 9/10 and ends on 9/24 at 11:00pm (times are Central) and is open to US residents ages 18+. Please refer to the full terms and conditions in the Giveaway Tools.

From Like to Love

Book Review:


  "From Like to Love"- For young people with   Asperger's syndrome.  (Autism Spectrum Disorder)
           By: Tony Attwood, PHD  & Michelle Garnett, PHD






        Autism is commonly misunderstood, when I learned of it I did not know that it was a spectrum disorder. I had only been exposed to the the severe and debilitating side of the spectrum. "From Like to Love" introduced me to Asperger's syndrome, a more mild form of autism, one that comes with it's own unique challenges.
        Most notable of these the difficulty when confronted with affection and dealing with empathy. Unlike the typical response to physical displays of affection ie. hugging, kissing; the ASD child may shy away or even stiffen under the touch of a loving parent. This reaction can continue throughout the ASD child's life into adulthood, making forming bonds and attachments to others quite difficult.
Dr.s' Attwood and Garnett set forth that with support, loving guidance and a set program the ASD child can develop a stronger understanding of emotions, affection and empathy towards others. The authors have not only gave parents a tool to greater understanding of their ASD child; but has also given them the gift of a fantastic program within the pages of "From Like to Love". 
       The activities included are thought provoking and meant to facilitate deep thought and understanding within the ASD child. I believe that this book will be a blessing to many people and open up the dialog between parents and ASD children.

* I received the book for free through Goodreads First Reads.
