Why Study Phonics with Dorbooks?

Because at Dorbooks, Inc. we believe that reading, like any other complex skill such as dancing or playing the piano, is most effectively taught gradually, one note, one step at a time until whole groups of notes, or steps can be combined into an entire song or dance routine. Dorbooks, Inc. publishes phonics books and phonics games teaching reading and spelling using direct, systematic phonics. Sounds and syllables gradually build into words and sentences. Phonics is the process - sight reading is the result.
