Your child is beginning to experience the printed page and needs your help to develop concepts of how spelling works and how letters are formed and put together to make words. Listen and Write is a fun and natural way to ease your child into the world of English spelling. In this level your child will learn correct pencil grip, correct letter formation, consonants, and short vowels. Listen and Write will provide your child with the foundation they need to become confident, competent spellers.

Listen and Write:

  • Focuses on lowercase letter formation, consonants, and short vowels
  • Moves the student from three-letter words to four-letter and eventually to five-letter words
  • Includes the focus of each day’s worksheet at the top for easy reference
  • Contains 36 lessons divided into five parts (A through E). Each part is a day’s lesson and should take no more than ten minutes a day
  • Features letter boxes to help your child learn sound-to-letter correspondence, a skill needed for reading success
  • Teaches correct pencil grip and letter formation
  • Emphasizes the consistent, automatic formation of lowercase letters

While Listen and Write is not a handwriting course, efficient handwriting techniques allow students’ brains to handle these tasks effortlessly and concentrate on more important things, such as sound-to-letter correspondence. This level comes with a handwriting guide for your student.

Another fun feature of Listen and Write are the stickers that are included. Your student can find a sticker to match a word from the day’s lesson, or simply choose one as a reward for a job well done. The sticker page includes suggestions on how to use them with the lesson.

Is Your Child Ready for Listen and Write?

This level is for a beginning reader who is still learning letter names and sounds and how to hold a pencil properly when writing. Ask the questions below or view the General Spelling Readiness Guidelines for more information on placing your student in the correct level.

Questions to ask:

  • Can my student focus on a worksheet for at least 10 minutes?
  • Can my student identify most of the letters of the alphabet?
  • Can my student write letters?
  • Can my student write fairly comfortably?
  • Does my student understand that letters make sounds?

If you answered "Yes" to all these questions, your child is ready to begin Listen and Write.

Listen and Write will provide lots of practice in writing individual letters and in hearing the sounds they make in simple words.
