Rod and Staff Phonics

for Grades 1 and 2

Rod and Staff's Phonics program is an integral part of the first and second grade Bible Nurture and Reader Series. However, it can be used independently as well.

After second grade, Rod and Staff does not focus on phonics as a separate course, but many of the phonics concepts are kept alive in the spelling curriculum, Spelling by Sound and Structure. Students in those grades who have not yet mastered basic phonics skills may benefit from the remedial course Developing Better Reading.
