1. The Address Book

**GAME INTENDED FOR iPADS AND LARGE SCREEN PHONES**

Read and Spell with Zoo-phonics Interactive Games supplement the award winning and widely used Zoo-phonics Multisensory Language Arts Program.

The Address Book is the most important lesson to cover, especially for children who have never been exposed to the Zoo-phonics Multisensory Language Arts Program teaching method. Zoophonia’s Address Book is where children discover all 26 letters (Shapes and Sounds) of the alphabet using the Zoo-phonics movements (called “Signals”), the Animal/Letter Characters.

Letter/characters are introduced in order of the alphabet from “a - z.” The animals will become familiar friends and will lead to letter shape and sound recognition.

To begin learning the letters, click on an Animal at the bottom of the address book to display it on the screen. Click on the letter to have Zoophonia give the Sound and Signal. Click on the Animal picture in the upper left-hand corner of the screen to hear the song “Jump Rope Rap.”

Children may color each Zoo-phonics Animal by clicking on the color palate, and then clicking on the animal.

Two songs are featured in the “Address Book” to aid in memorization and letter reinforcement:

To hear the entire song called “Jump Rope Rap,” click on the Animals and watch them “morph” into the letters.

To hear “Come Meet Us at the Zoo,” click on the Flag with the musical note on the flagpole.

Be sure to sing along and Signal with Zoophonia as she Signals the alphabet!
Teaches:

- essential Zoo-phonics Animals/letters, Signals and Sounds for all 26 letters of the alphabet.

- children 2 sing-a-long songs: “Come Meet Us at the Zoo” and “The Jump Rope Rap”, to reinforce the Shapes, Sounds, Signals and sequence of the alphabet.

About Zoo-phonics

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. Students actually learn the sounds of the alphabet and advanced phonemic concepts through an easily understood, concrete method of presentation.

Zoo-phonics uses animals drawn in the shapes of the letters for ease in memory. A related body movement is given for each letter. This concrete approach cements the sounds to the shapes of the letters. Lowercase letters and their sounds are taught first (needed 95% of the time in text), capital letters and letter names are taught later.

Zoo-phonics also provides a springboard for all other academia such as math, art, music, cooking/nutrition, social studies, science, grooming, physical education and sensory/drama.

Every aspect of the program has been field-tested and found to be effective. Educational research repeatedly supports the focus of phonics in early reading programs, as well as the educational benefits of pictorial mnemonics and kinesthetic approaches to learning that are unique to Zoo-phonics.

Currently Zoo-phonics is used throughout the United States and internationally as a highly effective language arts program.
