New versions! The Level 1 slideshow lessons have recently been redesigned. The new versions introduce each phonics pattern with a "speech to print" approach, include more practice with encoding (handwriting and spelling) to reinforce decoding, and provide more support in reading connected text. The word lists, sentences, and stories have not changed and still match the books available at abceng.org/books.
​(Note: For a limited time, you can still access the older versions of the lessons if needed. Scroll all the way to the bottom of this page to find them.)
