Reading
Improvement and Intervention Software
For students with mild to severe reading difficulties from
third graders onward. Twenty brief activities keep motivation
high. No drill and skill activities. Reading fundamentals
are taught at an appropriate speech and language level. The
software appeals to the audio and graphic sense of teens.
Excellent for students who have not responded to phonic and
balanced literacy instruction. Designed to take students to
grade level reading, regardless of where they start!
 Reading Challenge Game
The powerful Sound Reading
word lists and recoding activities are
now available in an easy-to- play game that improves decoding, fluency
and auditory processing skills.
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. Reading Challenge 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
Reading Fluency Foundation
End year -after-year remediation!
The Sound
Reading Fluency Foundation program is the only
fluency program available using rapid naming and word retrieval practice
to build automatic word recognition.
Practice with phonemes, single
syllable sight words through multi-syllable words will help your students become
automatic readers. Then, instead of focusing attention on decoding,
they’ll enjoy reading as they think deeply about meaning.
Each session of
Fluency Foundation begins with a five-minute rapid naming warm-up exercise
using one of eight fluency cards. Fluency cards help students practice
rapid word naming a simple, research-proven, method that ends
word-by-word reading. This method, also called rapid, automatic naming,
has long been used to address intense fluency difficulties.
After the warm-up
exercise, students read one or more chapters from a Fluency Foundation
Reader. Each chapter contains a short re-readable story. Fluency
Foundation includes four readers each with 18 quick and easy to read
stories. The code-progressive stories are designed to be read
independently and fluently.
They develop
reading fluency through independent oral reading practice. Timed
repeated reading of our quick and easy stories is a proven way to
develop fluency. Student’s progress is monitored and recorded using the
Timing and Goal Graph booklet. Students find charting their progress
highly motivational. Most students graduate to regular literature groups
upon completion of Fluency Foundation.
Every step on the road to
reading fluency should be learned so that it becomes automatic.
Sound Sense Activity Books
 Don’t let weak auditory
processing abilities limit your students’ reading decoding, comprehension and spelling success.
For a dramatic
improvement in your reading, spelling and writing instruction, add 15
minutes of Sound Sense activities once or twice a week.
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, the missing piece 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.
Finally, a highly
effective way to teach reading. Exercises in the Sound Reading
Improvement and Intervention Activity Book address the underlying speech
and language skills that hold readers back. Thirty brief lessons build a
solid speech foundation, ensuring that all students have the cognitive
skills and strategies necessary for fluent, meaningful reading.
Enhance phonemic
awareness, listening attention and memory all critical skills necessary
for improving reading fluency and comprehension. Struggling readers
learn to read well. The interactive format is lively and fun to teach.
Our materials are designed to strengthen and supplement your current
reading program.
The powerful Sound
Reading Word Lists and Recoding Activities are now available in an easy -to-play game that improves decoding, fluency and
auditory processing skills.
