Phonics of the Promise

By Justin Goldston PhD

Phonics of the Promise (Level 1): Early Reading Through God's Word (K-2) is a gentle, faith-centered phonics book that helps young learners become confident readers while staying rooted in the first truths of Scripture.

Built as the literacy companion to God Made Everything in the Judeo-Christian Foundations Series, this book teaches children how to sound out words, read simple sentences, and complete short decodable stories using creation-language from Genesis and covenant-language from Noah-words like God, good, light, day, night, land, sea, tree, love, pray, help, rest, promise, and again.

Each unit is designed for short daily lessons and includes:

A clear phonics focus (letter sounds, blends, patterns)

Sight words and word practice

Simple Bible-based sentences and decodable readings

Kid-friendly meaning questions to build comprehension

Gentle "Hebrew seed words" (like Elohim, Or, Shabbat, Teivah, Keshet) to connect children to Scripture's roots

Optional GemachAI prompts so families can generate extra practice on demand

The tone is calm, joyful, and reassuring-teaching that God is good, God keeps His promises, and when we miss, we can come back. Whether you're homeschooling, teaching in a Christian classroom, or doing family devotion time, Phonics of the Promise turns early reading practice into a daily moment of formation: learning letters, learning words, and learning to walk with God-one sound at a time.
