Dedicated to the
Memory of
Watson Washburn
Eleanor "Vie" Parkman
Bettina Rubicam
and
Rudolf Flesch
For their untiring efforts
to restore intensive phonics in
primary reading instruction.
PREFACE
Blumenfeld's Alpha-Phonics was created to provide parents, teachers and tutors
with a sensible, logical, easy-to-use system for teaching reading. It is an
intensive phonics instruction program based on the author's many years of
research and experience in the reading instruction field. It answers the need
for a practical instruction program that anyone who wants to teach reading
can learn to use with a minimum of training.
This Alpha-Phonics Workbook is the centerpiece of the program and contains all
of the lessons to be learned by the student. The instructions for teaching the
lessons will be found in the Alpha-Phonics Instruction Manual created for easy
use by parents, teachers, and tutors. The same instruction is given on the
Audio Lesson Tapes, which can be used by parents and teachers unfamiliar
with phonics and also by nonreaders for self instruction.
The Workbook teaches our alphabetic system - with its 26 letters and 44
sounds - in the following sequence: First, the alphabet, then the short vowels
and consonants, the consonant digraphs, followed by the consonant blends,
and finally the long vowels in their variety of spellings and our other vowels.
This program can be used to teach reading to beginners of all ages, older
students in need of remediation, nonreaders, adults who wish to improve their
reading skills, dyslexics, the learning disabled, and non-English speakers who
wish to learn to read English and improve their pronunciation.
It can also be used as a supplement to any other reading program being used
in the classroom. Its systematic approach to teaching basic phonetic skills
makes it particularly valuable to programs that lack such instruction.
The program's step-by-step lessons in large, easy-to-read print make it suitable
for both direct one-on-one tutoring and regular classroom use. Parents who
wish to teach their children to read at home will find the many learning tools
included with the program particularly helpful.
't
All of the lesson pages were carefully designed to eliminate distraction and help
the learner focus his or her attention on the work at hand. The program, as a
whole, is flexible enough so that any parent, teacher, or tutor can adapt it to
his or her own teaching style or situation.
If you have never taught reading before in this sensible, systematic way, you
will be pleasantly surprised by the results.
- Samuel L. Blumenfeld

Introducing Cursive
One of the most important tools of literacy that an individual must acquire is good
cursive handwriting. Cursive is a flowing form of handwriting in which all the
letters of a word are joined. Manuscript, or print-script, which most children are
taught in the first grade, is really a form of hand printing or lettering.
Most schools require children to learn cursive by the third grade. Unfortunately,
many children fail to make a good transition from manuscript to cursive mainly
because the third-grade curriculum does not provide enough time for or supervision
over handwriting development. The result is a poor, often illegible handwriting.
•
But the simple truth is that most children can be taught cursive in the ftrst grade,
thereby eliminating the need for a difficult and chancy transition period in the third
grade.
The virtue of teaching cursive in the first grade is that the teacher can spend more
time supervising its correct acquisition. Also, students will begin developing an
active tool of literacy, which they will be using for the rest of their lives.
The most important task for the parent or tutor in teaching cursive is to make sure
that the student learns to hold the writing instrument correctly and form the letters
correctly; that is, knowing where the letter starts and where it ends.
Cursive was developed to permit writers to obtain a fast, fluent, legible script with
minimum expenditure of energy.
It takes time to develop a good cursive
handwriting, and that is why it is wise to begin cursive instruction in the ftrst grade.
Most children, as they learn the letter forms, begin writing cursive in a large
awkward scrawl. This is quite natural because the child is being required to
perform a manual physical task, which requires considerable dexterity and
precision. But in a few weeks or months, that scrawl will evolve into a neat, legible
script.
There are some youngsters - and adults - who experience great difficulty in learning
to write. This is usually a physical problem that has nothing to do with intelligence.
This condition is called dysgraphia and can only be overcome with a great deal of
practice and perseverance. Dysgraphics usually fmd it equally hard to learn
manuscript as well as cursive. Therefore, it makes sense to concentrate on cursive,
since ultimately it is the more useful and required tool of literacy.
It is very important to teach the learner to form the letters correctly the ftrst time,
for there is nothing more difficult than trying to break bad habits once they are
acquired. Such future agony can be avoided by having the child do it right the first
time.
