Welcome to Sound Reading Solutions! We are a company comprised of people who have been in the classroom and struggled to teach reading and math. It was this struggle that lead to the creation of Sound Reading. We have researched and developed this family and school based approach to learning for over ten years and see the results both in tests and feedback from parents, teachers, schools and kids. Our programs are used successfully in homes, small rural schools, suburban environments and inner city classrooms here in the United States, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. We invite you to browse through the web site, view the data, read the comments from teachers, parents, students, and administrators. Feel free to give us a call at 800-801-1954 with your questions or comments. We share your commitment to success. Sound Reading is an intervention for students who respond slowly to your primary reading instruction. When the results for your current curriculum (as diverse as Read 180™, Treasures™, Wilson Reading™ or Reading Recovery) doesn’t lead to success for all your students, your staff doesn’t need more training…your students need a different approach. Don’t do the same thing over and over again and expect different results. Sound Reading is one of a handful of truly new approaches to reading instruction. Based on the latest research and a decade of field-testing in school districts as diverse as New York City and rural Florida, Sound Reading provides the critical language processing support that assures reading success.  Sound Reading’s powerful methods will bring the vast majority of struggling readers to grade level, even tenth graders with second grade reading levels. Why accept small (5 to 15%) increases in reading scores when 75% of Title One / remedial students and 40% of special education students will be reading at or above grade level for fluency, decoding and comprehension after Sound Reading’s tiered intervention!

Sound Reading provides critical instruction missing or not fully developed in most other reading programs. Our reading approach uses a combination of methods traditionally delivered by speech and language therapists. Neurologically, all reading problems are rooted in problems processing spoken words:  Decoding is limited by a range of auditory and phonological (speech sound) processing issues. Fluency is hindered by naming and word retrieval difficulties. Higher level reading comprehension is dramatically impaired by receptive (listening) comprehension troubles.

By targeting these issues with the powerful new reading methods, Sound Reading produces exceptional results in as few as 15 hours of instruction.

Sound Reading provides: Auditory processing and reasoning instruction using our unique listen, process, respond instructional method. Deep phonemic awareness that is effective for older students with prolonged reading difficulties. Some programs provide only basic segmentation and blending instruction.  English is the most difficult language to read, requiring sophisticated phonemic awareness. Phonological recoding – the most advanced and quickest way of teaching phonics. Unique fluency instruction combining rapid naming and word retrieval practice with code-progressive reading practice.  Many students who struggle with comprehension require three things before they are able to apply higher-level comprehension skills:   Advanced instructional methods developed by cognitive scientists, including over learning.   Distributed instruction.   Reduced error instruction that maximizes learning.
