A year or so ago, I ordered a phonics program for Firecracker called "Happy Phonics" which was developed by Diane Hopkins a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom. It was recommended by my friend Lisa. As soon as I heard about it, I knew it was for Firecracker...instead of workbooks and things this program helps kids practice phonics concepts through a series of games. Firecracker is the type to think a workbook is fun for about 2 minutes and then want to do something else. Anyway, Happy Phonics has exceeded our expectations, so if anyone out there is looking for a phonics program, you should check it out.
