In the bustling gym of Letterland School, George and Cindy (soft 'C' and soft 'G') join their classmates for a thrilling game of dodgeball. Amidst the action, they're questioned about their resemblance to hard 'C' and 'G' by their peers.

Their teacher, Miss Cynthia, enlightens them about their unique soft sounds, fostering a sense of belonging. She guides them to Gem City, where they're dazzled by soft sound words, reinforcing their special identity.

Through this journey, they learn to embrace their uniqueness, inspiring others in Alphabetia to appreciate the beauty of language and the stories each word carries. Welcome to our world of phonics adventure, crafted with love by two passionate kindergarten teachers! With a shared passion for nurturing young minds and a specific love of phonics, we shared one goal: to make early literacy education more engaging and easier to understand.

Our children's stories aren't just tales — they're tools designed to intentionally make tricky phonics rules make sense to little minds. Drawing from our classroom experiences, we blend storytelling with phonics instruction to create engaging and memorable learning experiences.

Our books serve as a tool for both children and teachers, offering an easy solution to teaching complex phonics concepts. With just one read-aloud, teachers can introduce these spelling rules, learn a catchy phrase to help remember them, and enjoy an engaging and uplifting story.

Join us on this journey to make phonics fun, accessible, and unforgettable for every young learner!Phonics Rule: Soft C and GWhen “c" is followed by the vowels “e," “i," or “y," it typically makes the soft sound /s/.
