Create Confident Readers with a Proven Phonics Curriculum

Simple Solutions’ Phonics curriculum provides systematic, standards-aligned practice in phonemic awareness, decoding, and word recognition that builds strong reading foundations. Our program supports Tier 1 literacy instruction with research-based methods aligned to the Science of Reading.

  • Science of Reading Aligned – Systematic phonics instruction that builds decoding automaticity
  • 10-15 Minutes Daily – Integrates as literacy stations, morning work, or intervention support
  • Print-Based Practice – Hands-on phonics work that develops letter-sound connections without screens

Your district has committed to Science of Reading implementation, but students still struggle with decoding consistency and phonics application in connected text. Teachers work through phonics lessons, yet students fail to transfer skills to independent reading. By the time early literacy assessments reveal the gaps, intervention lists are already long.

Simple Solutions’ Phonics curriculum provides the systematic daily practice students need to solidify foundational skills. Our program uses research-based phonics instruction to help students master letter-sound relationships, decoding patterns, and word recognition. It complements your core reading curriculum without adding complexity to your literacy block.

K-C | 108 Lessons | 27 Assessments

Systematic phonics instruction for grades K-3. Students develop reading fluency through consistent practice with phonemes, syllables, and word formation — building the decoding skills essential for reading success.

Our Strategies to a Better Phonics Curriculum

Our phonics programs use proven strategies that help early readers master decoding skills:

Retrieval Practice

Students regularly apply phonics patterns and rules, strengthening their ability to decode new words automatically rather than relying on guessing or memorization.

Spaced Practice (Spiraling)

Phonics concepts return throughout the program at strategic intervals, ensuring students move from recognizing patterns to applying them fluently in their reading.

Interleaving (Mixed Practice)

Each lesson combines different phonics skills — vowel patterns, consonant blends, syllable types — mirroring the variety students encounter when reading real texts.
