Product Description

The“Sawaru Glyph Phonics Edition”is the foundational material used at the beginning of the Sawaru Glyph program.

It incorporates tactile reading practice using video and audio resources aligned with phonics and syllables. Starting with single letters of the alphabet, progressing to simple sound spellings, and then to more complex sound spellings, this approach builds memory for letter forms and spellings step by step.

The process not only strengthens letter form memory but also facilitates the formation of word-form memory from spellings, promoting fluent reading. Additionally, it supports the formation of associative memory between spellings and sounds.
