SMA will not have phonics instruction during class time. Please commit to teaching your child to read at home and prioritize instruction during the week. There are hundreds of programs out there and you may use anything that suits your family.

Our favorite phonics program (for its gentleness and ease of use) is from Catholic Heritage Curricula and is called Little Stories for Little Folks: Catholic Phonics Readers https://www.chcweb.com/catalog/ByGradeLevel/Kindergarten/LittleStoriesforLittleFolksCatholicPhonicsReaders/product_info.html
