I am a kindergarten teacher that has used the Sunform Alphabet for over 10 years! I truly love it! After the first year of using it, I saw an amazing improvement in how quickly my children learned all the letter sounds and their journal writing (sounding out words phonetically). At Parent Orientation every year I tell the parents how amazed they will be with their child’s handwriting by the end of the year! I feel parents see and love the results too! I feel very fortunate our school system adopted this program for phonics and handwriting. I hope we never give it up!!

Sunform Alphabet System came to my attention through a research route…The system went beyond my expectations in solving phonemic problems in our low-skilled students. Almost immediately, student motor control and letter recognition accelerated.

The methods used in the Sunform Alphabet System are supportive techniques and strategies which may be effectively used by all primary teachers to provide a sound foundation for any reading program.

The Sunform Alphabet System is an essential tool in my classroom. If I had to choose only one teaching tool to teach my students to read and write, I would choose Sunform. The success rate of my students using Sunform is amazing.

I have never had this much growth using any other alphabet program.

The students picked up on the letter sounds months earlier than previous curriculums. This especially helped in moving on to CVC words quicker.

I have loved Sunform and I am excited to implement it next year with a different group of kids and see how it goes. It changed my instruction, my kids know more than I would have thought, and their DIBELS scores reflect the importance of Sunform in their learning this year.

What I like best about Sunform is it’s very engaging and the scholars think it’s fun rather than work.

I like how the program scaffolded learning (easy to hard) and left writing to the end. I also like how the picture description helped kids to learn the sounds and how to form the letter. I liked teaching the lower-case letters first and how the picture corresponded to the sound.

Letter writing was easy to teach because you could prompt using the picture.

My students would not be where they are without Sunform. It was majorly impactful for my kids and my own teaching practice.
