EFL Phonics 3rd Edition

The first step to Learning English!

EFL Phonics is an easy-to-teach five level series for elementary school students who are learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Through exposure to enriched listening and articulation exercises, students will learn how to connect the sounds of English with single letters or groups of letters more effectively. EFL Phonics also introduces fun phonics stories and chants with common sight words. These allow children to learn sight words more naturally and enable them to build confidence in reading while having fun.
