http://www.kidsofintegrity.ca/

Kids of Integrity is a set of free resources that will help you coach your kids with confidence and a clear sense of direction. Better still, Kids of Integrity will excite your children about living “God’s way.”   Each lesson features Bible-based discussions plus crafts, games, and object lessons from science, nature and even home cooking.

CORE –>Reading/ Phonics

• Phonics Pathways
• Plaid Phonics: (the ’95 edition, which features black and white illustrations)
