About US

 

In the spring of 2009, Carolyn Kay McFadden began marketing the Candy 4WAY Phonics Curriculum.  It is a complete, systematic, explicit, extremely affordable phonics curriculum sold as an instant download with printing rights for your personal use. 

Since then, the team of Candy 4WAY Phonics has been proud to be part of hundreds of families around the world who have used our products to successfully teach so many children how to read phonetically!

In 2019, Carolyn and her oldest daughter, Shannon, decided a change was needed in order to make Candy 4WAY Phonics even easier to teach, while keeping it affordable for parents all over the world who desire to teach their children to read phonetically. We are now introducing an updated edition of the main eBook, along with a new website that explains our products (all clearly priced and made immediately accessible).

Candy 4WAY Phonics offers a complete phonics reading curriculum for K-4 through 4th grade as well as a preschool phonics program package, multisensory flashcards/wallcards, rhyming lifetime phonics charts, PDF phonics file folder games and more.

What are Candy 4WAY Phonics materials based upon and why are our phonics/reading products leaps and bounds ahead of other reading programs?

The answer is simple. Unlike the “implicit” phonics method used in today’s public school classrooms (a method that teaches whole-word memorization and GUESSING at words that has left our nation with 40 to 60 percent of its students unable to read at grade level) Candy 4WAY Phonics uses an “explicit” phonics method which builds from part to whole, beginning with instruction on letters (graphemes) and their associated sounds/blends (phonemes).

Explicit phonics instruction provides parents and students with easy-to-follow, step-by-step lessons that teach students (and parents) to easily “sound out” new and unfamiliar words FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.

In addition, we offer a BlogSpot with “Carol’s Corner,” loaded with tons of ideas, information, tips & tricks on education & resources, which is just one more way we’re getting the word out to parents across the country of our UPDATED versions of Candy 4WAY Phonics products. It’s the SAME GREAT QUALITY, with a WHOLE NEW EXPERIENCE!

We owe our success for our latest updates to our Candy 4WAY Phonics curriculum team lead by Carolyn’s oldest daughter, Shannon, co-owner of MSG Painting & Construction (MSG PC) as well as the owner of Gardner Education & Consultations (GED & Co).
