is an educational
program used to teach phonics, reading and spelling.
A complete language arts program, Zoo-phonics
teaches through a cast of 26 Animal/Letter characters, using a whole-brain,
kinesthetic approach.
Children learn through their
Animal friends which make up the shapes of the letters of the alphabet.
Each Animal friend is shown in the shape of a particular lowercase letter.
The Animal's name corresponds to the letter's sound; for example, Allie
Alligator (for "a").
By means of this playful and
unique approach to phonics, with built-in strategies for breaking the
code to literature, Zoo-phonics locks letter Shapes and Sounds into
memory through body movements called Signals.
