Our goal in developing and publishing FUN PHONICS! was to offer an explicit and systematic phonics program through nurturing and loving stories that incorporated the geography of the United States and ends with a party at the White House with Ms. President and the First Gentleman.   Little did we anticipate the enthusiastic response these gentle books would receive throughout the world.  FUN PHONICS! is in use in schools and homes in all 50 states and also in Canada, South America, Asia and Europe.  FUN PHONICS! has been approved by the State Department of Education in both Georgia and New Mexico for their Reading Programs.

A 20 Book Set.

Learning to Read is Fun and Easy with
 FUN PHONICS!
For Beginning Readers 3 to 7 Years, And For
 ESL and Special Education Students

FUN PHONICS! begins with the premise that the student has been taught the 26 sounds (not the names) of the alphabet. Other sounds (mystery/sight words, digraphs, etc.) are progressively introduced throughout the set.  FUN PHONICS! teaches reading by

1st, by introducing the short vowels (vowels which retain their "true" alphabet sounds)

2nd, by incorporating blends (when two consonants come together and are pronounced together, yet each retains its own sound, gr, nd)

3rd, by introducing digraphs (the different sound produced when two successive letters form a new sound, sh, ch)

4th, by featuring long vowels (the names of the vowels versus their sounds)

5th, by introducing some of the more common diverse vowels (au, ar, ir, ou, oi, or, ur, etc.) and

6th, by a comprehensive review of the above in the set's last three books.

Before writing FUN PHONICS! I researched a large variety of phonic methods including the California Phonetic Reading Program, the Monterey Reading Program, the Professor Phonics Program, and the Speechphone Study Guide (American Speech Sounds and Rhythm). Webster's Third International Dictionary was also consistently used to eliminate many words that had a different regional pronunciation (dog = dawg). Again, FUN PHONICS! begins with the premise that the student has been taught the 26 sounds (not the names) of the alphabet. Other sounds are progressively introduced in the set.

The most impressive data supporting our FUN PHONICS! program is the overwhelmingly positive response by teachers and parents (and students) who have used our books for the first time or for many years.  A few of these endorsements are included ibelow.  T. Mylet

Documented Successes
Delighted parents and teachers praise FUN PHONICS!.

"Your Fun Phonics books are some of the best decodable texts that I've seen!  I currently conduct statewide training workshops for teachers and evaluators who serve students with reading disabilities and would like to incorporate the Fun Phonics Books into my workshops.  Each workshop includes 35-50 participants and I typically conduct 5-10 per year. 

Teachers are continually asking me for resources for decodable texts.  Even though there are beginning to be more decodable texts out there, yours are still some of the best.  . . . "
Dr. Margo L. Habiger
 Liaison, Regents Center for Learning Disorders
University of Georgia

"Thanks for a wonderful set of books that have given my son a great head start."
T. Weathers, Parent, Calcium, New York

"Finally an 'easy reader' that really is 'easy' for new readers to be and feel successful as they learn and experience the joy of reading for themselves."
M. Vallelonga, Teacher, Scottsdale, Arizona

"I love your program.  It's hard to find good easy-to-read phonetic readers.   The children request to read them over and over again.  Helps develop not only a love for reading but self esteem by being successful at reading."
A. Brown, Teacher, Vista, California

"I think your books are a great way to introduce reading to children.  I especially like the questions and fill-in-the-blank for checking comprehension."
S. Honn, Teacher, Waterloo, Iowa

"I bought the books as a gift for my niece.  She loved the books.  Her grandmother said she couldn't wait to finish one so she could read the next book."
S. Adkins, Aunt, Irving, Texas

"Great phonetic books!  The geography and music additions leave the children excited to see what's in the next book.  We are pleased!"
C. Sherlock, Director, San Diego, California

"Your books have great organization within the series.  Our school has sets and they are in daily use for our 4, 5, and 6 year old children.  The elementary aged child enjoys the wonderful 'extras' on geographic facts and fun activities.  Thank you for the great art work.  All aged children are very happy reading them!"
D. Feaheny, Administrator, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

"Finally!  A set of phonetic readers specially designed for beginning readers.  I love the way they progress with the child."
D. Carrier, Parent, Alamogordo, New Mexico

"The children read these books with ease thereby enhancing their self-esteem."
J. Johannigman, Teacher, Cincinnati, Ohio

"These books are great because with only a little phonic knowledge, the children can read a real book. . . .   In beginning reading, it is hard to find books that children can read by themselves."
E. W. Bramlett, Teacher, Jacksonville, Florida

"I am a homeschooler with a beginning reader.  My son loves your books and is thrilled with his ability to read them.  I have tried several other beginning readers with no success.  Thanks for something that actually works by making the child in charge and burst with pride!"
K. Baggett, Parent/Teacher, Somerville, Tennessee

"Your books are clear, concise and helpful.  The children particularly like the question pages and the dot-to-dot."
D. Pulcher, Teacher, Columbia, Illinois

"These books make learning to read fun and pressure free!"
L. Parras, Parent, Los Alamos, New Mexico

P.S.  From T. Mylet  In writing FUN PHONICS!, words were researched for meaning as well as for pronunciation. When choosing a location or the name of a character, I looked for interesting places and people in history, literature, art and music. Writing the stories was fun and full of surprises. In Georgia a tree owns the land on which it grows, in Vermont there have been sightings of a sea serpent, and "dod" really is a word. Enjoy!
