The Phonetic Zoo is a phonics-based program from the Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW) that uses the Blended Sound-Sight Program of Learning that uses auditory input to ensure students absorb and retain the correct spelling. Students use audio CDs or MP3 recordings (Premier Package only) to listen to the word being spelled, then spell the word aloud, letter by letter, to help them accurately remember the correct sequence, rather than simply looking at the word as a whole. The Phonetic Zoo Premier Package includes all the materials necessary for all three levels. Headphones (not included) are recommended.

This package includes:

• Phonetic Zoo Teacher’s Notes teacher guide covers levels A, B, C (with online access to PDF version)
• MP3 downloads for levels A, B, C contain spelling word tracks and corrections tracks
• Lesson Cards for levels (A, B, and C) include spelling rule, spelling words, and jingles
