Students stages of development are respected as they are led from simple to more complex phonological tasks. Instruction begins with exploring how the mouth is positioned to form sounds and learning to distinguish sounds. Students then progress to blending sounds into one-syllable words and learning to segment short words into their individual sounds. As students grow in phonemic awareness, they are explicitly taught how to identify initial, medial, and final sounds as well as how to rhyme. Students are also provided with explicit practice in blending and segmenting multi-syllable words, which prepares them for reading and spelling.

The Logic of English develops phonological skills through fun, age-appropriate games and activities.
