ULTIMATE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE: Phonics Fantasy Theater



Kids love learning and dancing and dancing is a great way for self-expression and exercise. An educational DVD that combines the two elements of learning and dancing was very intriguing. Phonics Fantasy Theater is an innovative program that uses West African Caribbean dance moves to synchronize with letter sounds. My children immediately began to participate and were moving and making the appropriate sounds. I loved that they were getting physical exercise and learning by doing and being an active participant.

This program uses lots of repetition and fun activities to learn letter sounds.  Phonics Fantasy Dance “assigns a specific dance movement to speech sound categories such as stretch sounds, short vowel sounds, stop sounds, long vowel sounds, r-controlled, letter blends and diphthongs.” The instructor, Ms. CJay is warm and inviting with children responding to her immediately as a “teacher.” Added bonus? It is fun and children really enjoy learning new dance moves and making the letter sounds.


The creators of Phonics Fantasy Dance have over 30 years in the field of speech-language pathology and 10 years in educational theater. I really liked Phonics Fantasy Dance…it is over 140 minutes of programming which can be broken down into small segments through 19 lessons. I
Recommended for Pre-K through second Grade (ages 4-7)
