A new Clifford phonics program! Six boxed sets (2 tk in Spring 2003, 2 tk in Fall 2003) of 12 books each will guide young readers through a carefully selected progression of letters and sounds.

CLIFFORD'S PHONICS FUN #1 starts with the easiest letters, "m" and "a," used in a simple rebus book. The books in this first pack, along with the five book packs that will follow, all show Clifford, friends, and family in various adventures that reinforce Clifford's values of caring, sharing, and being together. Each book points out the letters and sounds being focused upon, along with "words to learn" and "words to sound out."
