Beginning Alphabetics Tests and Tools (BATT) strives to provide a ‘principled’ system for ABE/ESL teachers who want and/or need to develop their students’ knowledge of Roman alphabet letters, English letter-sound patterns, sight or high frequency words, and transfer of those lettersound-word skills to text fluency and comprehension.

This resource includes “mini-lessons” for teaching intermediate alphabetics skills: compounds, syllable types and rules, common suffixes, prefixes, and roots.

The resource explores students' mindsets and how it affects how they learn math. It also identifies core teaching principles and provides teaching materials to support those principles. 

This resource can be used for teaching English letter-sound patterns or phonics.
