How to use this workbook This workbook is designed to be used in conjunction with the Fab

phonicsTM Level 1 audio cassette, however, it can also be effectively used separately.

Pages 1 through 6 contain all the word examples used on the Fab Phonics audio-cassette, as well as a summary description of the phonics rules. For best results, we recommend that the student read the word examples in the workbook as those examples are given on the tape, If the workbook is not being used in conjunction with the tape, the parent or teacher can read the letter sounds or applicable phor~ics rule to the student, and then assist the student in decoding each of the word examples.

Pages 7 through 32 contain exercises which reinforce the letter sounds and phonics rules that the student has already learned. To ensure success, the student should complete these exercises only after becoming familiar with the letter sounds and phonics rules which the exercises cover. This workbook also contains a "pull-out" section with answers to the exercises, This section should be removed before the student begins the exercises.
