Leaping LiteracyTM was, in part, developed on the concept of Physical PhonicsTM. Laurie Story derived
this theory based on first language acquisition whereby language development is always contextual
and physical. For young, emerging readers and for 2nd language learners, having physical,
kinesthetic applications of the printed words is not only efficient but FUN. We all learn best
when we are engaged and having fun. In each vowel section and throughout the ABC's, there are
Physical PhonicsTM applications. There's at least 1 page devoted to Physical Phonics
in each vowel section as well as songs and rhymes for each letter of the alphabet.
Here are a few, brief samples:
