Looking for the right phonics program?

Not all phonics programs are created equally. With so many phonics apps out there, how do you determine the most effective one?

The literacy experts at phonics.org thoroughly review educational phonics programs so you don’t have to. Each program is rated following a set of criteria backed by educators and parents.

Quality of instruction: Accuracy, type of instruction, scope and sequence, and efficacy.
Usability: Ease of use, adaptive learning options, accessibility for diverse learners, and customer support.
Engagement: Interactiveness, quality of visual graphics, level of entertainment, and player motivation.
