Episode 2- Alphabetics (ABCs): Where Reading Really Begins

 Before children can read words, they must understand sounds and letters—and how they connect. In this episode, we introduce Alphabetics (ABCs), our family-friendly way of explaining phonemic awareness and phonics.
You’ll learn why hearing sounds (phonemes) and matching them to letters is non-negotiable, how these skills develop, and how adults can support them through simple, proven practices. Evelyn English demonstrates activities you can use immediately—no fancy tools required.
