What makes the Easy Alphabet so effective?

A typical phonics alphabet supports letter learning by including a picture that starts with the target sound (e.g. a picture of a moon for the letter m). A typical embedded picture mnemonic offers an additional link by including a picture that starts with the target sound and is formed in the shape of the letter it represents (e.g. a penguin in the shape of the letter p, or a horse in the shape of the letter h).  But neither of these options help the child remember how to write the letter...

The Easy Alphabet embedded picture mnemonic provides stronger visual and verbal links to help reduce cognitive load and convert that "black squiggle on the page" into something more meaningful, building stronger links in memory.

• the picture reinforces the letter shape and letter sound
• the integrated 'story' cue (e.g. 'man goes over the mighty mountains') describes the picture, reinforces the sound, and guides the formation of each letter
• This unique combination solidifies the connection between the letter sound, letter shape, and the letter formation building stronger links faster. 
• the comprehensive collection of resources support an integrated approach to initial alphabet instruction.

Who can benefit?

This embedded mnemonic picture kit is specifically designed for instructional use by educators providing literacy intervention for struggling readers. It can also be used for general classroom use in the early years.
