Indexes to Phonics Activities in BOP-K

For the order in which letters and their sounds are introduced, see the Index to Letters, Alphabetic Wordsigns and Other High Frequency Words (chronological and alphabetic) and the Phonological Awareness Index. The Letter Recognition and Phonics activities in the following table reinforce letter-sound correlations and introduce early segmenting and blending skills in Lessons 2 through 18; the last three assess the child’s letter recognition in Checkup Lessons 19, 29, and 36.
