This navigation on this website is currently being revised.  Right now it is not in finished form.  Please be patient as I edit and put everything back where it belongs.  I apologize for the inconvenience.

If you can't see the main menu at the top of the page, you can click any of the main menu headings here: 
A Sequential Phonics Program - Materials - PDF Files - Pictures - Audio - Video - ​Reading Street - Blog.

I am changing the menus on this website so that you won't have to navigate submenus, because some web browsers are not showing the submenus correctly.  Now, when you hover over any heading on the main menu, you'll see a single drop down menu open up.  If you click on the main heading, you'll bring up a page with direct links to all of the pages in that category.

Welcome To The Sound City Reading Website!


If you are interested in phonics materials to teach beginning reading or to help older students become better readers, you have come to the right place.  The Sound City Reading materials are designed to help children learn the phonics patterns that are needed to become successful, independent readers. ​The materials are set up in a sequential fashion, from the readiness level through second grade and up.  ​I hope that you will find them useful.  ​

At one time I had an online store as part of this site.  I have taken the retail pages offline.  I'm no longer offering physical copies of the Sound City Reading materials to purchase.  You will need to download PDF files for the materials you want to use.  There is no charge for the files.  See the printing recommendations in the general information links below.​

Click any of the links printed in green below to go to that page.
