Hello there!
We have emailed you (maybe you haven't received it yet or maybe your email address has changed), but things have changed here at Progressive Phonics, and we wanted to tell you what was going on.
As some of you may remember, our books used to be free. This was way back in 2006 when we were first developing our books.
However, development costs money, and in order to develop Version Two of the books, we had to get financing from somewhere -- so we started selling our books on the internet.
With the money from the sales (and with other money we begged and borrowed) we created the Alphabetti books and also upgraded our Beginner and Intermediate phonics books.
But our dream was always to go back to the old days, when we allowed people to download copies of our books for free on the Internet. There's a warm and fuzzy feeling that comes from knowing that little kids around the world can go to the Internet and learn how to read.
By an amazing stroke of luck, we have landed a sponsor to help finance the remaining development of our books, which means that we no longer need to sell the download versions of our books.
At this point, some of you may be saying, "Oh, shoot! I just purchased the #*@*! books!"
Well, to anyone who has purchased the books in the last 30 days, we are more than happy to refund your money. :-) Send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and tell us the name you used to make the purchase, and we'll do everything we can to get your money refunded ASAP.
And to everyone else, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. Without your support, we would not have been able to continue the development of our books.

WE ALSO HAVE DISCUSSION FORUMS AT THE NEW WEBSITE. This will make it much easier for us to handle questions and comments. (We were NOTORIOUSLY bad about answering email... yikes, sorry about that.)
In any case, we hope you like the new web site.
Sincerely,
Miz Katz N. Ratz and
her mighty assistants
