About Zoo-phonics. All about Zoo-phonics® Zoo-phonics® curriculum meets Common Core Standards! Teach your students the alphabet in TWO WEEKS! Faster than you ever expected your students will be reading, spelling and writing! The Zoo-phonics® Multisensory Language Arts Program is a kinesthetic, multi-modal approach to learning all aspects of language arts, including vocabulary development and articulation, based on phonics and phonemic awareness. The principle of Zoo-phonics® maximizes understanding, memory, utilization and transference to all areas of the reading, spelling and writing process in a playful and concrete manner. Zoo-phonics® is a method developed to make children strong readers and spellers using a “phono” (hearing), “oral” (speaking), “visual” (seeing), “kinesthetic” (moving), and tactile (touching)—whole brain approach.

Zoo-phonics® uses animals drawn in the shapes of the letters for ease in memory. Every aspect of the program has been field-tested and found to be effective. —Dr. Welcome to Holland. By Emily Perl Kingsley. c1987 by Emily Perl Kingsley. All rights reserved I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with a disability - to try to help people who have not shared that unique experience to understand it, to imagine how it would feel. It's like this......

When you're going to have a baby, it's like planning a fabulous vacation trip - to Italy. You buy a bunch of guide books and make your wonderful plans. After months of eager anticipation, the day finally arrives. "Holland?!? " But there's been a change in the flight plan. The important thing is that they haven't taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy place, full of pestilence, famine and disease.

So you must go out and buy new guide books. It's just a different place. But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy... and they're all bragging about what a wonderful time they had there.
