Expand +5

By age five, children are ready to meet all 44 phonic sounds of English — not just the alphabet's 26 letters, but every additional sound like ai, oo, sh and th. Flash cards, a clear instruction guide and a matching activity book make that fuller sound system feel just as playful as the very first letters did.
