Goal-oriented English for Children.K to 9.

Phonics is an ideal way for EFL students to learn the sounds of the English language, as many of the common sounds may not exist in the students’ mother tongue. WE CAN!! Phonics 1-3 expand and extend the solid phonics foundation laid down in the core program, and move students towards the goal of reading and writing on their own. This allows them to become independent learners and gives a firm foundation for all the skills in English.

WE CAN!! Phonics 1-3 were designed by two of Japan’s phonics experts, after more than 30 years’ experience observing and teaching English to young learners. Their understanding of the difficulties faced by speakers of Asian languages in mastering the letters and sounds in English has resulted in a course that places great importance on the phonemic awareness stage, thereby helping students to unite sounds with letters and dramatically improve their reading, writing, and pronunciation.

WE CAN!! Phonics 1-3 also offer a wealth of jingles, songs, and chants to cater to children’s natural enjoyment of English prosody. As children read differently from adults, they can enjoy English even if at the beginning they do not fully understand the meaning.
