Phonics Information
"Did Dinosaurs Dance" is a See the Sounds® Publishing beginning sounds reader. It uses a multimodal
(see, say, do) approach to phonics learning. This helps the reader connect the shape of the letter to the sound of the letter. Coloring the pictures and words helps memory by personalizing each page. "Did Dinosaurs Dance" covers short vowel sounds and the consonant sounds in ABC order. Teachers and homeschoolers may choose to teach these sounds in a different order.
