It's a Zoo in here!

I love Zoophonics!!!!  They have a proven track record in teaching kids their letters and sounds and then using that basis to teach them how to read.  They also help with handwriting and start with the lowercase rather than uppercase letters.  Each Zoo pal has motions to accompany it's sound, as well as a song that incorporates all the pals!  This may be just the program you're looking for!!!!!!!
