Unit one has twenty five lessons. The first eleven are Listening skills (stories and poems), Visual Discrimination (broad similarities, detailed similarities and detailed differences), and Motor Skills (straight and curved lines, detailed dashed, detailed straight, and slanted lines and geometric shapes).

The next nine lessons are on auditory/visual discrimination. There are then three lessons on visual discrimination involving capital and lower case letters, letter identification and tracing. Then there is a another motor skills lesson and one on nursery Rhymes.

Unit Two is the beginning of learning phonics. The first few lessons are on the alphabet. Then on to letter recognition and identifying partner letters (capital and lower case). There are five lessons on motor and visuals skills.

After this the letter lessons begin. Each lesson begins with an intro to the letter. For example, the first letter taught is "S". So for "S" there are five lessons. The first is printing. The next: initial sound and printing. The third is letter discrimination. The fourth is initial sound and printing. The fifth and final lesson is final sound and printing.

Ther next letter taught is "T". After this there is a review of "S" and "T". After every two letters, there is a review of those two letters. After every four letters , there is a review of the four letters.

Unit Two covers the following letters: S,T,B,H,M,K,J,F,G,L, and D.
