Curious George Learns Phonics for Kindergarten - 1st Grade

Curious George joins the circus in this fun phonics adventure!



George is up to his usual antics, sending circus animals flying through the air in dashing acrobatics, laughing at the clowns' jokes, playing music, and chasing down letters and their sounds. Six games and activities teach children to recognize letters, sounds, and to sound out words as their build basic reading skills.

Teaches the way children learn.
As children learn about letter names, the sounds in language (phonemic awareness), and letter sound associations (phonics), they learn the basic skills of reading and writing. Children explore at their own pace and discover the joy of learning while they play games and activities that teach phonemic awareness and phonics. There are gentle challenges and fun, magical rewards.
