Kibow Phonics Level 1: Building the Foundation of Phonics!
Our journey begins with Level 1, designed to introduce young learners to the sounds and shapes of each letter, building a solid foundation for reading. This level focuses on basic letter-sound recognition, simple three-letter words (CVC), and early sight words to get your child reading simple words quickly and confidently.
What’s Inside Level 1?
Alphabet Sounds
Every letter has a unique sound, and learning these sounds is the first step in becoming a strong reader. Through fun exercises and engaging activities, your child will learn the phonetic sound each letter makes. From “A” for “apple” to “Z” for “zebra,” we make it easy to remember these fundamental sounds.
CVC and Short Vowel words
Short and simple three-letter words are ideal for beginners. In this section, your child will practice reading words like “cat,” “bat,” “sit,” and “pot.” These words are easy to understand and pronounce, making them the perfect building blocks for reading.
Short Vowel Sounds
Vowels are special letters that appear in almost every word. In Level 1, we focus on short vowel sounds to ensure your child recognizes and uses them correctly. They’ll explore words like “bag” (short ‘a’), “bed” (short ‘e’), “fig” (short ‘i’), “log” (short ‘o’), and “mug” (short ‘u’).
Short Vowel Words
Basic Sight Words
Some words are so common that recognizing them instantly is key to reading smoothly. In Level 1, we introduce sight words like “I,” “am,” “it,” and “go.” These are easy words that children will encounter frequently, so learning them early helps improve reading fluency.

Kibow Phonics: Level 2 – Building Confidence with Blends and Digraphs
Welcome to Level 2: Exploring New Sounds and Combinations!
In Level 2, your child will dive deeper into the world of phonics by learning blends and digraphs—special combinations of letters that create new sounds. This level is all about giving them the tools to tackle more complex words, boosting their reading skills, and building confidence.
What’s Inside Level 2?
Consonant Blends
Consonant blends are two consonants together that each keeps its sound. In Level 2, we introduce blends like bl, cl, fl, and sl, so your child can read words such as “flag,” “clip,” “slip,” and “black.” Practicing blends opens up a whole new set of words for your child to explore.
L Blend Words
R Blend Words
S Blend Words
Digraphs: New Sounds from Letter Pairs
Digraphs are pairs of letters that work together to create one sound. We focus on common digraphs like ch, sh, and th, helping your child recognize words like “ship,” “chop,” and “that.” This concept is essential for expanding vocabulary and reading more smoothly.
Introduction to Long Vowel Sounds
While Level 1 focused on short vowel sounds, Level 2 introduces long vowel sounds where the vowel “says its name,” like in “cake” and “bike.” We guide your child through the differences between short and long vowels, making it easier to decode new words.
2nd Sight Words
Sight words are a core part of reading fluency. In Level 2, we introduce a new set of sight words that appear frequently in reading materials, such as “see,” “get,” “will,” and “now.” Mastering these sight words allows your child to recognize them instantly, boosting reading speed and comprehension.

Kibow Phonics: Level 3 -Mastering Phonics with Advanced Blends and Word Families
Welcome to Level 3: Strengthening Skills and Building Independence in Reading!
In Level 3, we focus on refining reading abilities through advanced blends, word families, and vowel patterns. This level empowers your child with the skills to read more challenging words independently and improves their understanding of word structure.
What’s Inside Level 3?
Advanced Consonant Blends
Level 3 introduces more complex consonant blends like sm, sn, st, sp, and sw. Your child will learn to read words such as “small,” “snack,” “stop,” and “swim,” helping them decode words with ease and confidence.
Silent Letters
Some letters hide within words and stay silent! We explore common silent letters like “k” in “knee” and “w” in “wrist.” This helps children understand unique spelling patterns and recognize silent letters in words they encounter.
Vowel Teams and Diphthongs
In this level, we introduce vowel pairs (e.g., “ea” in “bead” or “oo” in “moon”) and diphthongs, where two vowels create a blended sound (like “ou” in “cloud” or “oi” in “boil”). Recognizing these patterns enhances reading fluency and allows your child to tackle longer words.
3rd Sight Words
With Level 3, your child will expand their sight word vocabulary, focusing on words that appear in many sentences. These include words like “thank,” “play,” and “they.” Mastering these high-frequency words builds your child’s reading speed and comprehension.
Kibow Phonics: Level 4 – Advanced Phonics for Reading Fluency and Comprehension
Welcome to Level 4: Achieving Reading Mastery!
In Level 4, we prepare your child to read fluently and understand more complex words and stories. This advanced level focuses on intricate word patterns, multisyllabic words, and reading comprehension skills to help your child become a confident, independent reader.
What’s Inside Advance Level ?
Complex Word Structures
We explore multisyllabic words and advanced phonics patterns, such as r-controlled vowels (like “ar,” “er,” “ir,” “or,” and “ur”) and vowel combinations with varied sounds (e.g., “ough” in “though” and “bough”). These elements teach your child how to break down and read longer, more complex words.
Word Patterns and Exceptions
English is full of unique spelling rules and exceptions! In this section, we cover common irregular patterns and tricky spelling rules, helping your child learn to recognize and decode words like “caught,” “thought,” and “through.” Understanding these patterns builds both reading and spelling confidence.
Advanced Sight Words and Vocabulary Building
As your child progresses, a more challenging set of sight words is introduced, including words they’ll frequently encounter in longer texts. By recognizing these words on sight, they can read with greater speed and accuracy, focusing more on understanding rather than decoding each word.
Reading Comprehension
Beyond reading words, Level 4 emphasizes comprehension. Through age-appropriate stories and passages, your child will learn to understand, retell, and discuss what they’ve read. This skill is crucial for building reading confidence and engaging in deeper learning as they progress.
Engaging Activities for Fluency and Comprehension
We offer interactive reading exercises, comprehension games, and story-building activities to make learning advanced phonics engaging. These practices make reading enjoyable while strengthening your child’s understanding and fluency.

Then the question arises: where’s the content? Not there yet? That’s not so bad, there’s dummy copy to the rescue. But worse, what if the fish doesn’t fit in the can, the foot’s to big for the boot? Or to small? To short sentences, to many headings, images too large for the proposed design, or too small, or they fit in but it looks iffy for reasons.
A client that's unhappy for a reason is a problem, a client that's unhappy though he or her can't quite put a finger on it is worse. Chances are there wasn't collaboration, communication, and checkpoints, there wasn't a process agreed upon or specified with the granularity required. It's content strategy gone awry right from the start. If that's what you think how bout the other way around? How can you evaluate content without design? No typography, no colors, no layout, no styles, all those things that convey the important signals that go beyond the mere textual, hierarchies of information, weight, emphasis, oblique stresses, priorities, all those subtle cues that also have visual and emotional appeal to the reader.
