Hi,
I have used Happy Phonics in the past as a supplement. I bought it for that purpose and it has filled in our gaps well. It is fun but, (JMO here :wink: ) I really think that it needs the follow up of a workbook such as Explode The Code (which is what the author suggests :D ) All of my dc have ...
