Phonics First 4 is the fourth in a series of five comprehensive, fully integrated, beginning reading programs that incorporate the skills of word attack, comprehension and spelling.

Phonics First goes from the earliest stage of letter-sound recognition to teach, at each successive stage, increasingly sophisticated phonics skills. At each of these stages Phonics First promotes the development of spelling and comprehension ability. The interactive nature of the instruction ensures that students remain highly motivated to master the skills taught in this carefully structured beginning reading program.

The key to the success of Phonics First is its careful construction and solid educational foundation. Students are asked to read only those words containing the sounds or rules they have been taught, and only then are they tested to demonstrate their progress. More
