Software
Sound Reading
Software for ESL/ELL and speakers of cultural variations of English is highly effective
print to speech instruction. English is the most difficult major
language to learn to speak and read. ELL/ELS
students build
the phonological (speech) structure of English. Emphasis on
vowels and spellings that challenge Spanish-speaking students.
It is also appropriate for native English speakers
with limited proficiency due to regional and cultural language
variations
Reading
Challenge Game
Has updating your reading instruction to reflect current
research meant dealing with a boring scripted program that
consumes all of your instructional time? The Reading
Challenge
Game offers you a fun, easy and effective way of
developing decoding, spelling, fluency skills, phonemic
awareness and auditory/phonological processing skills in an
age-appropriate manner.
Reading
Challenge
is the perfect literacy boost for students short on
motivation, attention and memory. The game format allows you to
integrate sophisticated educational concepts into your
curriculum in way that is as easy to teach as it is to play.
Challengers perform one of four listening, reading, fluency or
spelling tasks. Each word list contains six words that have a
common spelling or phonemic pattern. The word lists expose the
student to all 44 English phonemes and three or more common
spelling variations for each phoneme. For one to four players.
The game has four activities:
Say It Block Challenge – A
phonemic awareness and phonological processing activity.
Using blocks, students identify the sequential changes in
similar sounding spoken words. Successfully build critical
speech-to-print processes in students of all ages.
Change It Letter Challenge –
Similar to the Say It Block Challenge, except that the
blocks are replaced by letters. Students must still identify
the phonemes associated with the spoken word. Great for
students who have not responded to phonics!
Read It Fluency Challenge –
To build automaticity, students are given thirty seconds to
read the six words on the word list as many times as
possible.
Spell It Challenge – Students
must spell the six words on the word list and identify the
common spelling pattern.
Reading Challenge is well-suited for use in
classroom literacy centers and peer-assisted learning programs.
Sound Sense
Activity Books
 Fifteen minutes of Sound Sense Activity Books develop
the full range of auditory/phonological processes that help
students listen, read and spell with greater ease. that are the
missing pieces in most reading instruction. Sound Sense
addresses these issues, markedly improving reading ease,
especially for students who respond slowly to phonics.
The key to
reading English, with its complex sound structure and confusing
spelling system, is deep phonological awareness. Sound Sense
Activity Books make a strong connection between spoken and
written words, so reading scores will zoom. Sound Sense
Activity Books contain 20 to 30 unique language processing
activities in a spiral format.
The activities
follow our unique listen, process and respond format.
With no repetitive drills or passive seatwork, activities are
very easy to teach to an entire classroom. The activity books
develop phonemic awareness, auditory attention and memory,
sound/symbol awareness, decoding and spelling skills; moreover,
they are far more effective and fun than traditional phonics.
When reading becomes effortless, students free up cognitive
resources to focus on higher level comprehension.
A highly
effective way to teach reading. Exercises in the Sound
Reading ESL/ELL Activity Book addresses the underlying
speech and language skills that make learning to read English
difficult for English language learners. Engage students with
highly effective print -to-speech instruction and dramatically
improves reading skills. English is one of the most difficult
language to learn to speak and read. Sound Reading builds
the phonological (speech) structure of English. Extra emphasis
is placed on the vowels and spellings that challenge all ELL
students.
