List of Phonics Programs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There is a relatively small body of very complete programs that have been widely used in schools and clinics that teach students with reading difficulty. These are listed below. There is an increasing number of programs available for computers and online. The quality of these products varies dramatically.
