With extensive audio support, the Compass Phonics and Spelling Log also helps students identify, pronounce and write words with sounds that may be unfamiliar or challenging to speakers of other languages. Students are guided to understand and apply concepts through fun and intuitive activities with age - and level - appropriate vocabulary.
