The alphabet contains 26 symbols (each with an upper case and lower case form = 52 symbols). Each symbol has a NAME, and each symbol also makes a SOUND...
This is a total of 104 discrete (separate) concepts that have to be memorized by children -- mostly BEFORE they get to the fun part (reading).
It's enough to drive anyone crazy!
With today's understanding of how the brain works and how language is learned, we no longer have to teach the ENTIRE alphabet before children start learning how to read.
In Progressive Phonics, children learn the alphabet one or two letters at a time (maximum three letters at a time) and then are instantly "immersed" in specially designed, playful books containing words that use ONLY the letters that the children have learned.
This approach is perfect for --
-- Young children getting ready for school
-- Children who mix up alphabet letters (such as d and b, p and g, z and s, etc.)
-- Children challenged by special needs or learning disabilities
-- Adults learning the English alphabet

Key features:
Gentle learning curve: Rather than memorizing 104 concepts (two sets of symbols and two sets of sounds), children are only required to memorize a few concepts at a time.
Instant application: Instead of delaying the teaching of reading, Progressive Phonics allows children to start reading as soon as they start learning the alphabet.
Retention: Each book has a companion pack of activities (handwriting, coloring, games, cutting and pasting., etc) that help a child imbed each letter of the alphabet into multiple memory channels, leading to long term retention and automatic recognition.
Logical sequence: Because lower-case letters comprise 95% of all written text, lower-case letters are taught first. Next, upper-case letters are taught in a way that helps children logically associate upper-case letters with their corresponding lower-case letters. Then, when children are comfortable with letter recognition, the alphabet sequence (ABCDEFG, etc.) is taught.
