CPR introduces only one new sound at a time, allowing students to read early and confidently. Children read their first story after learning just three letter sounds, and continue mastering new phonograms gradually until all 70 are learned.
Multi-Sensory, Hands-On Learning
Students strengthen letter–sound connections through tactile activities, such as identifying letters by touch or matching objects to beginning sounds. These sensory experiences dramatically improve retention for struggling readers.
Daily Phonemic Awareness Practice
CPR reinforces essential skills like rhyming, segmenting sounds, counting syllables, and manipulating phonemes (cat → pat → pan → pen). These oral activities create the foundation strong readers need.
Teach the Most Frequent Sounds First
CPR begins with the most commonly used letters (“I”, “T”, “P”), enabling students to read meaningful words immediately. This boosts confidence and builds momentum early in the program.
Teach ALL Letter Sounds (Especially Vowels)
Every letter has multiple sounds, and CPR ensures students master each one. For example, “A” has four common sounds, all taught and reviewed using daily flashcards for long-term mastery.
Reinforce Learning Through Games
Games like Hangman, Connect-the-Dots, and Five-in-a-Row turn learning into fun. CPR includes ready-made word cards that make gameplay simple for instructors while reinforcing phonetic concepts.
3D Letter Craft Worksheets
Students glue small craft objects onto letters to represent their sounds (e.g., buttons on “B”). These creative activities build sound association and keep learners engaged.
Build Alphabet Skills With 3D Letters
A timed “alphabet race” challenges students to arrange 3D letters in order. This activity improves alphabetical awareness, builds confidence, and introduces healthy competition.
Improve Fluency With Speed Drills
CPR includes ready-made speed tests using mixed-order words from each story. These checks help students gain automaticity and track progress toward fluent reading.
Review Daily With Phonogram Flashcards
CPR’s 70 phonogram flashcards support quick, daily review. Students name, spell, and listen for dictated phonograms, reinforcing their understanding and mastery over time.
